A Paragon user station set to Direct Mode can be directly connected to a
Paragon CIM, either temporarily for emergency “crash cart” access or
permanently for non-switched extension purposes, without having to go
through a Paragon Base Unit.
To create a “Direct Mode” connection
1. If you have not already done so, follow the instructions in steps 5A
and 5B of A KVM System with A Single Paragon Switch (on page
19) to attach the CIM to the server.
2.
If you have not alrea
dy done so, plug in and turn on your server or
computer.
3. Turn off the user station.
4. Run Cat5 cabling directly between the user station and the CIM.
5. Turn on the user station. It should display a “DIRECT Mode: CIM
connected” message on the screen.
While the user station is in Direct Mode, if the Cat5 cabling between the
user station and the CIM becomes disconnected at any point for more
than three to four seconds, the user station will exit Direct Mode. To
re-establish Direct Mode, repeat the above steps.
