Channel Association for Multiple Video
“Multiple Video” (or called Port-Following Switch) enables up to four user
stations to simultaneously receive the video output of a server that has
multiple video ports.
Besides, you may also use this function to make a maximum of 16
separate servers simultaneously output their video data by accessing
only one of the channels.
In order to perform this function, the administrator must configure
channel port association in Paragon Manager. See Paragon Manager
User Guide for more information. This user guide is available on Raritan
website's Firmware and Documentation section
(http://www.raritan.com/support/firmware-and-documentation/).
The a
s
sociation setup can only be done by those listed below, but any
normal user can perform the Multiple Video function once the association
setup is finished.

Outputs (on page 83).
Channel Association Guidelines
This section describes the general concept for associating channels.
This function applies to both Paragon II Main and Stacking Units.
Channel ports of the same association group are all on the same
Paragon II Main Unit (either with or without any Stacking Units
connected).
Set the channel intended to activate other channels as the “first”
channel in the Paragon Manager's association setting.
Available channel association options vary from model to model.
Two-channel association is permitted for all Paragon II models.
