74 PARAGON II USER GUIDE
Channel Configuration
To edit or initialize a P2CIM, change the device name, individual scan rate, device type, and
group IDs associated with each server or device, select option 3, Channel Configuration, from
the Administration Menu. When you save Channel Configuration changes, Paragon II will update
each affected P2CIM as necessary.
Figure 66 Left Panel of the Channel Configuration Menu
This menu displays one channel port’s information in each row. If the Paragon system detects a
powered device on that channel port, it will display the text in that row in green; otherwise, it will
display it in black. Again, there are two panels in this menu – left and right panels, indicated by
the right-pointing arrow () at the top of the menu. The fields and columns on the left panel of
this menu:
• ChID: The channel port’s number.
• Name: The name of the device attached to that channel port. Device names are case-sensitive
and may be up to twelve alphanumeric characters long. As shown with channel port #1 in and
elsewhere, you may leave a device name blank if you wish, but we do not recommend this.
• Scn: Displays the device’s individual scan rate (the length of time that the system pauses
while scanning that channel port for those users who set their Scan Mode to “Individual”
rather than “Global”). 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.
Use the arrow keys, Tab, Shift + Tab, Page Up, and Page Down to move within this menu and
its submenus. Press Enter to edit a highlighted field; it will turn green. When you finish editing a
field, press Enter followed by S to save the changes, or press Esc to abort them.
