Chapter 3: Operation – User Functions
User functions for configuration and operation of your Paragon II system are processed through
the On-Screen User Interface (OSUI). To activate the OSUI at any time, press the hot key (default:
Scroll Lock) twice in QUICK succession.
Login
Log on to Paragon II so you can access servers and other devices connected to the Paragon II
system. The Login screen is automatically displayed on every user station monitor after the single
Paragon switch or Base Unit is powered on. To activate the Login screen on a user-station
monitor at any other time, press the system’s hot key (factory default: Scroll Lock) twice in
QUICK succession to activate the OSUI, then press F9.
Note: If a user station monitor displays the message “…No Connection to Paragon…” instead of
the Login screen, either the user station is not connected properly to the Paragon switch, the
switch is powered OFF, or the switch is malfunctioning. Make sure that the cabling between the
user station and the switch is intact and is securely connected at both ends. Make sure that when
you turn the Paragon switch off and back on, the LEDs run through the sequence described in
step 1B of Installing a Paragon System with a Single Matrix Switch in Chapter 2.
The Device ID field in the login screen will initially contain the single Paragon switch or Base
Unit’s default device name: “Paragon II” followed by “2x42” for a P2-UMT242, “4x42” for a P2-
UMT442, “8x32” for a P2-UMT832M, or “16x64” for a P2-UMT1664M. (The administrator can
assign a different name.) The User Port is the number of the user port on the Paragon switch –
from 1 to 16 depending on the model – to which this user and the user station are attached.
Paragon’s Login screen is designed to move from corner to corner of the monitor, acting as a
screen-saver. “Saver” mode is configurable in the System Configuration menu, under Login
Sleep. Please see System Configuration in Chapter 4
for additional information.

To log on at the Login screen and start operating the system:
1. Type in the user name assigned to you by the System Administrator. (If user names have not
been assigned, use default names: user01 through user15, depending on the model, for
regular users and admin for the administrator. User names are not case-sensitive.) When
finished, press Enter.
2. Paragon II will prompt you if a password is necessary. If so, type your password and press
Enter. The default password for the admin user is raritan (all lowercase; passwords are
case-sensitive). We recommend changing this password right away; please see the section
User Profile Customization in t
his chapter for additional information.
