CHAPTER 3: OPERATION – USER FUNCTIONS 25
Chapter 3: Operation – User Functions
User functions for configuration and operation of your Paragon II system are processed through
the On-Screen User Interface (OSUI). To activate the OSUI at any time, press the hotkey (default:
Scroll Lock) twice in quick succession.
Login
Log on to Paragon II in so you can access servers and other devices connected to the Paragon II
system. The Login Menu is automatically displayed on every user station monitor after the single
or master Paragon II Base Unit is powered on. To activate the Login Menu on a user-station
monitor at any other time, press the system’s hotkey (factory default: Scroll Lock) twice in quick
succession to activate the OSUI, then press F9.
Note: If a user station monitor displays the message “…No Connection to Paragon…” instead of
the Login Menu, either the User Station is not connected properly to the Base Unit, the Base Unit
is powered OFF, or the Base Unit is malfunctioning. Make sure that the cabling between the User
Station and the Base Unit is intact and is securely connected at both ends. Make sure that when
you turn the Base Unit off and back on, the LEDs run through the sequence described in step 1B
of Chapter 2: Installation, Installing a Paragon System with a Single Base Unit.
The Device ID field in the login menu will initially contain the single or master 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 it a different name.) The User Port is the number of the user port on the Base Unit – from 1
to 16 depending on the model – to which this user and User Station are 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 Chapter 4: Operation – Administrator Functions, System Configuration
for additional information.
Figure 29 Login Menu
To log on at the Login Menu and start operating the system:
1. Type in the user name assigned to you by the System Administrator. (If user names have not
been assigned, use default names: user01 through user16, depending on the model, for
regular users and admin for the administrator. User names are not case-sensitive.) When
finished, press ENTER.
2. Paragon II will prompt you if a password is necessary. If so, type your password and press
ENTER. The default password for the admin user is raritan (all lowercase; passwords are
case-sensitive). We recommend changing this password right away; please see the section
User Profile Customization in this chapter for additional information.
