Paragon II 4.3 or Later Firmware Version
As long as the card reader function is intended in the Paragon II system,
you must ensure the firmware version of the Paragon switch (or switches)
in the chosen path is 4.3 or later. Otherwise, the card reader function is
not available even though both of the reader-enabled user station and
CIM are present in the path.
To upgrade the firmware version of existing Paragon switches to 4.3 or
later, including Paragon I HW3 and Paragon II, see Firmware Upgrade
(on page 167) for additional information.
Using the Card Reader
Once all required reader-enabled components are installed in the
Paragon system, and the proper driver and authentication software have
been configured in the servers, the card reader authentication is ready
for use.
Note that when you connect the P2-EUST/C user station to the Paragon
Base Unit with 4.3 or later firmware version, the whole system
comprising the Base Unit and its tiers enters the Private Mode regardless
of the original Operation Mode setting. This is to ensure that only the
user that has validated his or her credentials may view the server's video
output.
1. Using the P2-EUST/C, verify that the user station is connected to a
keyboard/mouse/VGA monitor, and is turned on. See Basic
