User manual
CHAPTER 3: OPERATION – USER FUNCTIONS 29
When the system is set to Public View Mode, if one user has already selected a server, another user can
also select it, but the second user can only view video output, not control it or input any data with the
keyboard and mouse. In this mode, other OSUI graphic elements will appear on screen when you select
various CPUs:
• When you select a server that someone else is already controlling, a message showing the name of the
server being viewed will appear on your monitor. It cannot be removed, but will disappear after three
seconds. Press Esc to return to the main Selection Menu.
• If another user chooses to view the video of a server you have already selected, you will see a message
bearing that user’s name for three seconds, twice – first when the second user begins viewing and then
when the second user stops viewing.
User Customization
When the OSUI is active, invoke the User Profile Menu by pressing function key F4. This menu displays
Paragon II’s configuration and allows you to set preferred operating parameters for individual user
accounts.
