Update Paragon Matrix Switch(es) Using a Serial Connection 

1.

 

Connect one end of the Paragon Download cable (included with all Paragon units and all User Stations) 
to the port labeled 

Admin

 on the back of the unit (DB9F). Connect the other end of the cable to the 

serial port of any computer with Paragon Update installed. To ensure reliable communication, you 
should use only the Paragon Download cable for this process. 

2.

 

Launch the Paragon Update utility. 

3.

 

A window will display a chart of Paragon II UMT units to be updated (this chart will be blank if it is 
the first time an update is executed). 

4.

 

Click [

Add UMT

] to add a Paragon unit to the chart.  

5.

 

Click on the 

IP address/Serial 

drop-down arrow and select 

Default Serial

6.

 

In the 

Port

 column, type the appropriate 

COM 

port (COM1 through COM4) on the PC connected to 

the Paragon unit. 

7.

 

A checkbox on the left of each entry indicates that this UMT will be updated. Make sure all the 
Paragon units in the system you wish to update are checked. Please note that any connected Paragon II 
Stacking Switches will be automatically updated by the UMT to which they are connected. 

8.

 

Click [

Select HEX File

]. A dialog box where you can select the appropriate Paragon Firmware update 

file appears. Click [

Open

] to select the firmware for Paragon Update. 

9.

 

Click [

Send Update to Paragon

]. The utility will send the selected update file to all the checked 

Paragons on the list and update them. 

 

Firmware Update Interrupt Recovery 

If a firmware update is interrupted or if it fails to complete, Paragon has a fail-safe feature that allows 
recovery and returns the unit to a downloadable state.  
1.

 

On the front panel of the UMT, press and hold the left (

) and right (

) arrow buttons. 

2.

 

While holding the left (

) and right (

) arrow buttons, power ON the unit. 

3.

 

The unit will go into 

download 

mode.   

4.

 

You can now attempt to download the firmware again. Please follow the steps outlined in the 

Update 

Paragon Matrix Switch(es)

 sections above. 

 
If you experience any problems, please contact your local Raritan Technical Support Center.
