Guidelines for System Configuration
• Only one user should attempt to modify/update the system's
Administration Menu at one time (especially the User Configuration
and Channel Configuration submenus).
• Z-CIMs should be added one at a time to a Z-CIM chain. The
administrator should read from message bar that the database has
been completely updated before adding a new Z-CIM.
• If updating the system is necessary at installation, make certain all
users have logged out.
• When naming or renaming a CIM, switch to that CIM to activate it and
to ensure the new name is stored or updated in the Paragon switch's
database.
• When turning ON existing stable configurations (that is, if you are NOT
replacing or adding Paragon switches and NOT swapping their order),
or when you are power cycling a cascaded configuration, follow this
sequence:
1. Turn ON the third tier (if a third tier exists).
2. Turn ON the second tier.
3. Turn ON the base tier (first tier).
• For configurations where Paragon switches are added, replaced, or
swapped (in order), follow this sequence:
1. Turn ON the third tier (if a third tier exists).
2. Turn ON the second tier.
