HOW-TO -- PARAGON ESSENTIALS 3
Case 4. Local Video Redirection (Forced Video)
Purpose: To locally direct a server to output its video/keyboard/mouse data to a specific user
station so the user of the specified user station can be assigned to view and even work on the
server.
1. Log into the system with the administrator user name and password. The password is
case-sensitive.
default name: admin
default password: raritan
2. Press arrow keys (Ç, È) to highlight the channel of the server whose data you want to direct.
3. Press Tab and the message “Force switch to user port” appears on the message bar.
4. Type the port number of the desired user station. For example, if you want to direct the data
to the user station connected to the user port No. 3, type 3 and press Enter.
>> Refer to: Video Redirection (Forced Video) sect
ion in Chapter 4 for details.
Case 5. Using Multiple Video Ports
Purpose: To have the access to a specific video port automatically trigger the video outputs of the
other video ports on the same server. Paragon is designed to output a maximum of four video
ports.
1. Connect the four video ports of the server respectively to four channels of the same Paragon
switch via four CIMs. Three of the CIMs must be P2CIM-AUSB and one could be either
P2CIM-AUSB or P2CIM-APS2. For example, you may connect them to channel port No. 1,
2, 3 and 26.
>> Refer to: Connecting CIMs to a Multi-Channel Video Server section in Chapter 3 for
details.
2. The Paragon
administrator sets up the channel association group using Paragon Manager. Do
this:
a) Launch Paragon Manager.
b) Connect and log into the Paragon system by doing this: choose Session Æ Connect Æ
choose the Paragon switch Æ type the administrator name/password Æ click Login.
c) Create the association group consisting of channel numbers 1, 2, 3 and 26: choose Set up
Æ Multiple Video Æ New Æ type necessary data Æ select four channels 1, 2, 3 and 26
Æ click OK.
d) Ensure the channel triggering the video outputs of the other channels is set as the “first”
channel. For example, the administrator may choose 3 in the First Channel field so
channel No. 3 will be the channel which causes the other three channels to output the
video data.
>> Refer to: Paragon Manager User Guide in the manual CD and/or Channel Association
for Multiple Video section in Chapter 4
for details.
3. Any user who wants to perform the Multiple Video function logs into the Paragon system.
For example, one user uses the user station connected to the user port No. 2 to log into the
system with the following user name which has no password required.
user name: user02
password: <no password>
4. Select the “first” channel of the association group. In this example, highlight channel number
3 and press Enter.
5. The other video ports of the same server connected to channel numbers 1, 2 and 26
automatically output their video data to three user stations subsequent to
the one where
user02 is operating, which are connected to user port No. 3, 4 and 5 respectively.
