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 set in the Global Scan Rate field. “Individual” setting
indicates that the Administrator has set a specific length of time for each 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
