Color Channel port status
Yellow Channel port is unavailable for control (being controlled by another user), but video
can be viewed. (This happens only when the Paragon system is in Public View Mode.
See the paragraphs below for information about other OSUI displays that appear
when the system is in Public View Mode.)
Purple A second- or third-tier cascaded switch is connected to this channel port. See A KVM
System with Cascaded Paragon Switches (on page 24).
White Channel port's current status is unknown. This should not happen if the Paragon II is
operating normally.

Channel port is connected to a device and active, but is unavailable to access due to
lack of tier path. It operates in Private mode only as 'Blocked Channels Identification'.
Another possibility is the path you manually choose overlaps with another user's path
partially or completely and thus limit your accessibility to any servers other than the
server being accessed by another user.
For additional information about Private Mode, Public View Mode, and
PC Share Mode, see the bulleted item Operation Mode under System
Configuration (on page 101).
Messages Shown in Public View (P-View) Mode
When the system is set to Public View mode, one user can select the
server which another user has already selected. However, the second
user can only view video output without the capability to control the
server or input any data using the keyboard and mouse. In this mode,
other OSUI graphic elements appear on the screen when:
You select a server that someone else is already controlling. A
message showing the name of the server being viewed appears on
your monitor. It cannot be removed, but will disappear after three
seconds.
Note: To return to the Selection Menu, press Esc.
Another user selects the server you have been accessing. You will
see a message bearing that user's name for three seconds,
twice—first when the second user begins viewing the server and
then when the second user stops viewing.
