Chapter 7: Operation - Administrator Functions
102
Display All Computers: This option can be “Yes” or “No” to
respectively allow or disallow users from viewing channel port
listings for all connected devices through the OSUI, even if the
user doesn’t have the security privileges to access them. The
factory-default setting is No.
Logoff Timeout: If enabled, after the amount of time in minutes
that a user station can remain inactive (no keyboard or mouse
activity), the logged-in user at that station is logged out of the
Paragon II system.
Possible values in the first field are “On” (Logoff Timeout is
enabled) and “Off” (Logoff Timeout is disabled – the default
value). Use the
and keys to toggle between these values.
If Logoff Timeout is set to “On,” the number in the second field
is the number of minutes of inactivity that must elapse before the
timeout is triggered and the user is logged out. Using leading
zeroes if necessary, type a two-digit number of minutes from 01
to 99, or use the
and keys to increase and decrease the
current value by 1 respectively. The default setting is 05. If
Logoff Timeout is set to “Off,” the number in this field will have
no effect.
Operation Mode: Any of the three ways in which the Paragon
system handles requests from multiple users for access to the
same channel port. Use the
and keys to switch between
the choices:
Private: A server or other device on a specific channel port can
be accessed exclusively by only one user at a time. No other
users can see or control that device until its controlling user
selects a different channel port.
Public View (P-View): While one user is accessing a server or
other device on a specific channel port, other users can select
that channel port and view the video output from that device, but
only the first user will have keyboard and mouse control. When
the first user disconnects or selects a different channel port, the
waiting user who is first to type or move his/her mouse is given
keyboard and mouse control. Status messages showing users’
identities appear on video-sharing users’ monitors when Public
View mode is in effect.
PC Share: A server or other device on a specific channel port
can be selected and controlled by more than one user, but only
one user has keyboard and mouse control at any one time. If the
PC share timeout is enabled and the user in control is idle (no
keyboard or mouse activity) for the duration of the timeout, the
waiting user who is first to type or move his/her mouse is given
keyboard and mouse control of the PC.
