30 CONSOLESWITCH SCS232 USER MANUAL
Appendix E: Paragon with ConsoleSwitch FAQ
This section addresses questions specific to operational issues when using ConsoleSwitch SCS232 with
Raritan’s Paragon KVM system.
Q: After configuring ConsoleSwitch to work with Paragon as per the instructions in this manual, all
the ConsoleSwitch channels appear in white, and/or I have problems switching to channels.
A: Ensure that you have AUATC version v2.54 or higher. Previous AUATC firmware versions (v2.51 and
lower) will not properly support all ConsoleSwitch commands.
Q: I am running the SMIT utility in AIX. When I switch to a channel running SMIT, the page is
unreadable.
A: When switching to a channel that is already running SMIT, you will need to refresh the screen.
To refresh your screen in SMIT, press the F2 key.
Note, however, that AUATC must be programmed to translate the F2 key to the appropriate SMIT command
string in order for the refresh command to execute. To program AUATC to translate the F2 key correctly,
follow the instructions below:
Program F1 to ^[OP (<CTRL-V>+<ESC>, <SHIFT-O>,<SHIFT-P>)
Program F2 to ^[OQ (<CTRL-V>+<ESC>, <SHIFT-O>,<SHIFT-Q>)
Program F3 to ^[OR (<CTRL-V>+<ESC>, <SHIFT-O>,<SHIFT-R>)
Program F4 to ^[OS (<CTRL-V>+<ESC>, <SHIFT-O>,<SHIFT-S>)
Program F5 to ^[OT (<CTRL-V>+<ESC>, <SHIFT-O>,<SHIFT-T>)
Program F6 to ^[OU (<CTRL-V>+<ESC>, <SHIFT-O>,<SHIFT-U>)
Program F7 to ^[OV (<CTRL-V>+<ESC>, <SHIFT-O>,<SHIFT-V>)
Program F8 to ^[OW (<CTRL-V>+<ESC>, <SHIFT-O>,<SHIFT-W>)
Program F9 to ^[OX (<CTRL-V>+<ESC>, <SHIFT-O>,<SHIFT-X>)
Program F10 to ^[OY (<CTRL-V>+<ESC>, <SHIFT-O>,<SHIFT-Y>)
Please consult your AUATC User Manual for detailed instructions regarding function key programming.
