2. Type a name for your Paragon II switch in the System Name field (up to 12 alphanumeric
characters). It is important for Paragon switches to have distinctive names if they are part of a
cascaded system with multiple Base Units.
3. Click the Operation Mode drop-down menu and select a mode. Operation Mode indicates
the way your Paragon system handles requests from multiple users for access to the same
channel port. Choose:
− Private: A server or other device on a specific channel port can be accessed exclusively
by only one user at a time. No other users can control that device until its controlling user
selects a different channel port.
− Public View (P-View): While one user is accessing a server or other device on a specific
channel port, other users can select the same channel port and view the video output from
that device, but only the first user will have keyboard and mouse control. When the first
user selects a different channel port, the waiting user who is first to type or move the
mouse is given keyboard and mouse control. Status messages showing users’ identities
appear on video-sharing users’ monitors when Public View mode is in effect.
− PC Share: A server or other device on a specific channel port can be selected and
accessed by more than one user, but only one user has keyboard and mouse control at any
given time. If the PC share timeout is enabled and the user in control is idle (no keyboard
or mouse activity) for the duration of the timeout, the waiting user who is first to type or
move the mouse is given keyboard and mouse control of the PC.
4. Click the Hide Admin From Users drop-down arrow and choose Yes or No. When
Operation Mode is set to “Public View” (P-View), the user in control of a server is normally
notified when other users start and stop viewing the channel port’s video. However, when
Hide Admin From Users is set to “Yes,” administrators can view other users’ video without
activating this viewing-notification message. The default setting is No.
