Chapter 6: Operation - User Functions

Login
Log in to Paragon II so you can access servers and other devices
connected to the Paragon II system. The Login screen is automatically
displayed on every user-station monitor after the single Paragon switch
or Base Unit is turned on. To activate the Login screen on a user-station
monitor at any other time, press the system's hot key (factory default:
Scroll Lock) twice in QUICK succession to activate the OSUI, and then
press F9.
Note: If a user-station monitor displays the message “...No Connection to
Paragon...” instead of the Login screen, either the user station is not
connected properly to the Paragon switch, the switch is turned OFF, or
the switch is malfunctioning. Make sure that the cabling between the
user station and the switch is intact and is securely connected at both
ends. Make sure that when you turn the Paragon switch off and back on,
the LEDs run through the sequence described in step 1B of A KVM
System with A Single Paragon Switch (on page 19).
The Device ID field in the login screen will initially contain the single
Paragon switch or Base Unit's default device name: “Paragon II” followed
by “2x42” for a P2-UMT242, “4x42” for a P2-UMT442, “8x32” for a
P2-UMT832M, or “16x64” for a P2-UMT1664M. (The administrator can
assign a different name.) The User Port is the number of the user port on
the Paragon switch—from 1 to 16 depending on the model—to which this
user station is attached.
Paragon's Login screen is designed to move from corner to corner of the
monitor, acting as a screen saver. “Saver” mode is configurable in the
System Configuration menu, under Login Sleep. Please see System
Configuration (on page 101) for additional information.
To log in at the Login screen and start operating the system
1. Type the user name assigned to you by the system administrator,
and press Enter.
Note: If user names have not been assigned, use default names:
user01 through user15 (depending on the model) for regular users
and admin for the administrator. User names are not case-sensitive.
