twice in quick succession.

changed by the user:
a. The Connected field displays the name and channel port ID of the currently selected
device, if you are currently connected to a channel port.
b. The User field displays the user name you entered at login.
c. The User Port field shows which user port on the Paragon switch your user station is
attached to.
d. The Admin field shows whether or not you have Administrator privileges.
e. The Group field displays the user’s group ID(s) (see Group Settings (Access Rights) in
Chapter 4).
3. To change any of the other fields, use your keyboard keys to select the field you want to edit:
Press Tab to move forward through the editable fields, Shift+Tab to move backward, the Ç
and È keys to move up and down, and the Å and Æ keys to move left and right.
Press Enter to begin editing; the highlighted area will turn green, and the message text
changes to the following:

Please refer to the next section for interpreting specific User Profile entries.
When finished, press Enter to retain the changes (the highlighted area will turn yellow) or
press the Esc key to cancel the changes. When you are going to leave the menu, (for example,
if you press a function key) the prompt in the prompt/message bar will change to “Save the
changes (Y/N/ESC)” Press S to save the changes to long-term memory, Esc to discard your
changes, or N to discard your changes and exit the menu.
Note: When you type in new numeric values, always use the number keys at the top of your
keyboard, not the number keys on your keypad. Paragon does not support the keypad number
keys.
User Profile Parameters and How to Change Settings
• Scan Mode: Indicates how Paragon II determines the length of time to pause at each channel
port during autoscanning. Default setting is “Global.” Use any of the arrow keys to toggle
between these values.
− Global: the system pauses at each channel port for the same length of time set in the
Global Scan Rate field.
− Individual: indicates that the administrator has set a specific length of time for each
individual channel ports (as displayed in the Selection Menu).
• Global Scan Rate: If Scan Mode is set to “Global,” this parameter determines the length of
time that the system pauses at each channel port while scanning. Using leading zeroes if
necessary, type in a two-digit number of seconds from 01 to 24, or use the Ç and È keys to
increase and decrease the current value by 1 respectively. The default setting is 03.
• ID Display: The ID Display is a small window that can appear on-screen to display the name
and ID of each channel port as you switch between them or scan them. Edit the two fields to
determine how the system will show you this window:
