CHAPTER 7: CONFIGURATIONS 51Chapter 7: ConfigurationsWhen implementing complex tiered and stacked architectures for a Paragon system, there are importantguidelines describing the legal and illegal configurations among devices in a Paragon system, and theprocedures to make the system function in the appropriate manner that you must follow and procedures tomake the system function in an appropriate manner.Principles of Re-Connection• Whenever a change is made to a connected tiered device, it is recommended that power to all devicesis recycled, if possible. This includes the device where the connection is changed directly, as well as alldevices below it in the system architecture.• The sequence of power recycling should start from highest tiered device and end with the Main baseunit. For example, in a “Single Base” configuration (only one UMT Matrix Switch as the base unit), ifa connection change is made at a device on the third tier, the sequence of power recycling should be asfollows:− The third tier device with the changed connection− The second tier device connected to the third tier device− The base unitIn the event that a change is required for an existing configuration, the chapter illustrates proper proceduresfor adding or removing units and changing tier paths.
