20 PARAGON II USER GUIDE
5. Following step 1 of Installing a Paragon System with a Single Matrix Switch, plug in and
power on any
THIRD-TIER matrix switches, then the SECOND-TIER matrix switches, and finally
your
MASTER matrix switch (Base Unit).
6. Following steps 2B, 2C, and 2E of Installing a Paragon System with a Single Matrix
Switch, plug in and power on your User Stations and monitors.
The Base Unit (Master matrix switch) should automatically recognize the connected
subsidiary matrix switches and update its configuration. All monitors should display the
Login screen. If any monitors instead display a “.....No connection to Paragon.....” message,
the User Station they are attached to is not properly connected to the Base Unit. Check for
loose connections and make sure you are using good, intact CAT5 cables. (See Appendix A:
Specifications for UTP-cabling information.)
Note: If your video image is fuzzy (especially if you are using an LCD flat-panel monitor),
you can adjust the video gain to focus the video image. If the OSUI is not displayed at a given
monitor, activate it by pressing the Scroll Lock key twice QUICKLY, then use + and – (plus
and minus) keys on the numeric keypad to adjust the video image until it appears to be in
focus. The P2-EUST provides automatic and manual skew compensation, which will also
help improve video quality. Please see Video Gain Adjustment and Skew Compensation in
P2-EUST in Chapter 3 for additional information.
7. Configure the channel ports in your system. (Check the Scroll Lock LED on one of your
user-station keyboards. If it is blinking, Paragon is ready to accept the hot key commands
from that User Station. Hot key commands can be used with the OSUI to login, select servers,
or administer the system.)
A. At the Login screen, type admin in the User Name field and press the Enter key. In the
Password field, type the default password raritan (all lowercase) and press the Enter
key.
B. The monitor will display the Selection Menu, indicating that the User Station is correctly
installed.
