Tiered Configurations 

Standard Tiering Configurations 

Single Base Configuration Guidelines 
•  Only Paragon I HW3 (running Paragon II code) or Paragon II can serve as base units. 

•  The base unit must always be the latest released version, both in hardware and firmware. 
•  A maximum of three (3) tiers, including the base unit, is permitted. 
•  Devices that are not Paragon II Matrix Switches but have two or more channel ports, such as 

Raritan MasterConsole, CompuSwitch, Z-CIM, or P2ZCIM, are treated as tier devices. These 
devices cannot act as base devices in a Paragon II system and can be connected only to a base 
unit or to a second tier Paragon II. 

−  After all devices have been connected, power ON the devices from upper tier to lower 

tier. 

−  After initialization, each tiered device has an updated database. 

Example A: Relocating an upper-tier device (refer to dotted line) 

1.  Disconnect some or all of the user ports on the tiered unit (UMT-3A) that connect to the 

channel ports of the lower-tiered unit (UMT-2A) and re-connect the user ports to the channel 
ports of another lower-tier unit (UMT-2B). 

2.  Recycle the power of tiered devices. This is recommended to build a clean database for the 

UMT Matrix Switches. Sequence of recycling power is from the highest tier (tier 3) to the 
base unit. In our example: UMT-3A 

→ UMT-2A→ UMT-2B → UMT-Base. 

3.  The operation is the same for devices that are not UMT Matrix Switches.
