The Forced Video function is always performed regardless of the login
status or the permissions of that logged-in user on the assigned user
station. If it is performed successfully, the following message appears on
the screen of the administrator.
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 appears on the screen of the
administrator.

You can also use Paragon Manager in a remote PC to redirect the
video/keyboard/mouse output. For more information, see Paragon
Manager User Guide. This user guide is available on Raritan website's
