Possible Failure Causes
Several scenarios will lead to the failure of the function:
• There is blockage to the selected channel because it has been accessed by another user.
• Mouse/keyboard activity is detected on the assigned user station when the Forced Video
command is issued. Paragon will NOT execute Forced Video in order to protect the server
operation.
• Multiple Video (Port-Following Switch) function is being applied to the assigned user station.
• The user station is set to Local PC mode.
• No available path between the server and the user station.
• The assigned user port is not attached to any user station.
When the failure occurs, a failure message is displayed on the screen of the administrator.
Operating Forced Video Using Paragon Manager
You can also use Paragon Manager in a remote PC to redirect the video/keyboard/mouse output.
