34 PARAGON II USER GUIDE
Note: When you type in new numeric values, always use the number keys at the top of your
keyboard, not the number keys on your keypad. Paragon does not support the keypad number
keys.
User Profile Parameters and How to Change Settings
• Scan Mode: Indicates how Paragon II determines the length of time to pause at each channel
port during autoscanning. Default setting is “Global” – the system pauses at each channel
port for the same length of time (length of your choosing). “Individual” setting indicates that
the Administrator has set a specific length of time for individual channel ports (as displayed
in the Selection Menu). Use any of the arrow keys to toggle between these values.
• Global Scan Rate: If Scan Mode is set to “Global,” this parameter determines the length of
time that the system pauses at each channel port while scanning. Using leading zeroes if
necessary, type in a two-digit number of seconds from 01 to 24, or use the Ç and È keys to
increment and decrement the current value by 1 respectively. The default setting is 03.
• ID Display: The ID Display is a small window that can appear on-screen to display the name
and ID of each channel port as you switch between them or scan them. Edit the two fields to
determine how the system will show you this window:
− Possible values in the first field are “On” (ID Display is shown, the default value) and
“Off” (ID Display isn’t shown). Use any of the arrow keys to toggle between these values.
− If the ID Display is set to “On,” the number in the second field, Seconds, indicates how
many seconds it will remain on-screen. Using leading zeroes if necessary, type in a two-
digit number of seconds from 01 to 24, or use the Ç and È keys to increment and
decrement the current value by 1 respectively. If you type in a number greater than 24,
the second field will be filled with a “- -”, indicating that the ID Display will be shown at
all times. The default setting is 03. If the ID Display is set to “Off,” the number in this
field will have no effect.
• Sleep Mode: A power-saving mode that is activated once a user logs in. Sleep mode acts as a
screensaver if the user station is idle (no keyboard or mouse activity) for a specified amount
of time. Sleep mode is user-specific; whatever mode a user sets applies to only that user once
logged in. Edit this field and the Minutes field that follows to determine how the system
handles sleep mode. Possible values are Saver, Green, and Off. Use the Ç and È keys to
toggle between these values.
− Saver: The OSUI, with or without background, is a “floater” and appears regularly in
random locations on the screen.
− Green: The monitor goes blank.
− Off: Sleep Mode is disabled and the screen displays normal video indefinitely.
− If Sleep Mode is set to Saver
or Green, in the Minutes field, type the number of minutes
of inactivity before Sleep Mode is triggered. Using leading zeroes if necessary, type in a
two-digit number of minutes from 01 to 99, or use the Ç and È keys to increment and
decrement the current value by 1 respectively. The default setting is 05. If Sleep Mode is
set to “Off,” the number in this field will have no effect.
• Hotkey: The keyboard key that, when pressed twice quickly, activates the OSUI. The
alternatives are Scroll Lock (the default), Caps Lock, Num Lock, the LEFT ALT key, and
the LEFT SHIFT key. Use any of the arrow keys to switch between the choices. You cannot
select the key currently being used as the Previous Channel Key (see below).
• Display Position: This position indicates where the OSUI menus and ID Display appear on
your monitor. Move the highlight to “Menu” (for the OSUI) or “ID” (for the ID Display) and
press ENTER to highlight it, then use the left-, right-, up-, and down-arrow keys to move the
chosen window as desired. When finished, press ENTER to save the change.
• Previous Channel Key: The keyboard key that, when pressed twice quickly, causes Paragon
II to return to the previously selected channel port (provided that that channel port is still
available) without going through the OSUI. The four alternatives are the left ALT key, the
