Channels connecting to servers appear in green. At first 
there are no names for any servers so all Name fields are 
blank. 
Tip: If the server provides a DVI-D connector instead of a 
VGA port, Raritan recommends that you connect the CIM 
to the server using a Smart View DVI-to-VGA (female to 
female) converter (DV-101). Note that currently only the 
Smart View DVI-to-VGA converter has been tested and is 
officially supported by Raritan for use with Paragon II. 
3.  Turn on the server. 
4.  Repeat Steps 1 to 3 for all other servers you want to 
connect to remaining Channel Ports.

Initial Verification 
  To verify that the server connected to the Paragon

the Password field and press Enter. Note the 
password is case-sensitive. 
Tip: You can also type any user name for regular users. 
The factory-default user names for regular users are 
user01 through up to user15, depending on the model of 
your Main Unit. By default, there are no passwords for 
these user names.

Video Gain Adjustment 
A video-gain adjustment is available to focus the video image, 
which can be especially useful if you are using an LCD 
flat-panel monitor. Please note that you must access each 
channel individually to adjust that channel's video gain. 
  To make the video-gain adjustment 
1.  Press the hot key (default: Scroll Lock) twice QUICKLY to 
activate the Selection Menu. 
2.  Press the + and - (plus- and minus-sign) keys on the 
keypad of your keyboard to adjust the video image until it 
appears to be in focus. 
  For P2-UST, the video-gain range is -15 to +15. 
  For P2-EUST or P2-EUST/C, the video-gain setting is 
named "AGC," and its range is 0 to +6. 
3. Press Esc or Enter to quit the OSUI and save the video 
setting. 
4.  To adjust another channel's video-gain setting, access it 
and then repeat Steps 1 to 3.
