68 PARAGON II USER MANUAL
Non-Standard Tier Configuration
Guidelines for Existing Firmware Versions
• Non-Standard tier configurations are those configurations supported by Paragon II, but require special
procedures in order to function properly. These include:
− Triangle Configuration
− Diamond Configuration
− Redundant Configuration
• When a Non-Standard tier configuration is detected, Paragon will do the following:
− Display the message “Illegal Connect/Check CTxxxxxx” on the LCD panel, where CTxxxxxx is
the serial number of UMT that has the Non-Standard configuration on its user ports
− Stop normal function and continue displaying the message until the connection is removed and the
unit is reset
− While the UMT is trapped on the message, it will send the broadcasting message to all UST1s
every two (2) seconds, “Illegal connection on CTxxxxxx”
− The message will also appear on the OSD until the Non-Standard tier configuration is removed
• Recovery:
− After any re-connection subsequent to the Non-Standard tier configuration, all UMT Matrix
Switches should undergo a FUNC reset to clear the switch database. This procedure should be
performed starting from the third tier device down to the base unit.
− Whenever a third tier UMT Matrix Switch is replaced, all of the second tier and base UMT Matrix
Switches should undergo a FUNC reset.
− Whenever a second tier UMT Matrix Switch is replaced, all of the base UMT Matrix Switches
should undergo a FUNC reset.
− Whenever a base UMT Matrix Switch is replaced, only the new UMT Matrix Switch should
undergo a FUNC reset.
Triangle Configuration
The following procedure must be followed to ensure this configuration functions properly:
− After re-connection, all UMT Matrix Switches must undergo a FUNC reset to clear the switch
database. This procedure should be performed starting from the third tier device down to the base
unit.
− Execute the FUNC reset in the following order: UMT-3A → UMT-2A → UMT-Base 1.
