50 PARAGON II USER MANUAL
Paragon II and UKVMSPD Z-CIMs
Using a UKVMSPD with a Local PC
If you have a local PC CPU that you want only the user(s) at a certain user station to be able to access, but
you want that user station to be able to access the CPUs attached to the Paragon system as well, insert a
UKVMSPD dual-access CIM between a User Station and a Base Unit.
To do this for a given user station:
1. If you have not already done so, install your Paragon system as described in Chapter 2: Installation.
2. Take the cable that connects the user station’s User Station to the Base Unit and disconnect it from the
Base Unit’s user port.
3. Connect the free end of this cable to the RJ-45 port labeled “UTP OUT” on the UKVMSPD.
4. Run another CAT5 cable from the RJ-45 port labeled “UTP IN” on the UKVMSPD to the same user
port on the Base Unit from which you disconnected the other cable.
5. Plug the UKVMSPD’s HD15 strand into the HD15 VGA video port of the CPU you want the user
station to have local access to. Plug its purple 6-pin mini-DIN keyboard strand into the CPU’s 6-pin
mini-DIN keyboard port. Plug its light green 6-pin mini-DIN strand into the CPU’s 6-pin mini-DIN
mouse port.
6. Plug in and power ON the CPU. If the UKVMSPD is installed and operating properly, the
UKVMSPD’s green LED will start blinking: once per second while the UKVMSPD is idle, or more
quickly while data passes in either direction.
Once this installation is finished, activate Local PC Mode on the User Station:
1. Log on at the attached user station.
2. Press the hotkey (Scroll Lock) twice rapidly to activate the OSUI.
3. Press F4 to activate the User Profile Menu (see Chapter 3: Operation – User Functions, User
Customization).
4. Use Tab or the and keys to move the highlight to the Local PC field.
5. Press the Enter key. The Local PC field will turn green.
6. Use the or to toggle the value of the field to “On.”
7. Press the Enter key. The highlight will turn yellow.
8. Press S to save the change and return to the User Profile Menu. If you do not wish to save changes,
press the Esc key to abort the change and return to the User Profile Menu.
Once Local PC Mode is turned on, you can access the dedicated local PC CPU from this user station by
pressing the Home key twice in quick succession while the OSUI is on-screen. The User Station will
immediately switch you to the local PC. To return to the Paragon system and its switched CPUs, activate
the OSUI by pressing the hotkey twice (Scroll Lock), then press F2 to activate the Selection Menu and
access any of the listed servers.
