all times. The default setting is 03. If the ID Display is set to “Off,” the number in this
field will have no effect.
• Sleep Mode: A power-saving mode that is activated once a user logs in. Sleep mode acts as a
screensaver if the User Station is idle (no keyboard or mouse activity) for a specified amount
of time. Sleep mode is user-specific; whatever mode a user sets applies to only that user once
logged in. Edit this field and the Minutes field that follows to determine how the system
handles sleep mode. Possible values are Saver, Green, and Off.. Use the Ç and È keys to
toggle between these values.
− Saver: The OSUI, with or without background, is a “floater” and appears regularly in
random locations on the screen.
− Green: The monitor goes blank.
− Off: Sleep Mode is disabled and the screen displays normal video indefinitely.
− If Sleep Mode is set to Saver or Green, in the Minutes field, type the number of minutes
of inactivity before Sleep Mode is triggered. Using leading zeroes if necessary, type in a
two-digit number of minutes from 01 to 99, or use the Ç and È keys to increment and
decrement the current value by 1 respectively. The default setting is 05. If Sleep Mode is
set to “Off,” the number in this field will have no effect.
• Hotkey: The keyboard key that, when pressed twice quickly, activates the OSUI. The
alternatives are Scroll Lock (the default), Caps Lock, Num Lock, the LEFT ALT key, and
the LEFT SHIFT key. Use any of the arrow keys to switch between the choices. You cannot
select the key currently being used as the Previous Channel Key (see below).
• Display Position: This position indicates where the OSUI menus and ID Display appear on
your monitor. Move the highlight to “Menu” (for the OSUI) or “ID” (for the ID Display) and
press Enter to highlight it, then use the Å, Æ, Ç, and È keys to move the chosen window as
desired. When finished, press Enter to save the change.
• Previous Channel Key: The keyboard key that, when pressed twice quickly, causes Paragon
II to return to the previously selected channel port (provided that that channel port is still
available) without going through the OSUI. The four alternatives are the left ALT key, the
left SHIFT key, Caps Lock, Num Lock (the default), and “None” (no Previous Channel
Key; function disabled). Use any of the arrow keys to switch between the choices, but You
cannot select the key currently being used as the Hotkey (see above).
• Help: This parameter determines the format of the help message at the bottom of each OSUI
menu. It is always set to “Single Line” and cannot be selected or altered.
• Local PC: Use any of the arrow keys to toggle Local PC Mode On or Off (the default) for
the attached User Station. Turn PC Mode “On” only if you have used a Z-CIM
to attach a
local PC between the User Station and the matrix switch.
To change or delete your password
You can delete (if “Require Password” is set to “No”), or change a password while the User
Profile Menu is on-screen by pressing P. Type your old password at the first prompt. Type a new
password up to eight characters long at the next prompt, and press Enter. To delete your
password, press Enter without typing anything in the field. Confirm the new password by typing
it again at the third prompt; then either press Enter to save the new password or Esc to abort the
change and continue using the old password.
Note: Be careful when you change your password. If you forget or lose it, the Administrator has
no way of recovering or erasing it – your account will have to be deleted and recreated.
