CHAPTER 3: OPERATION – USER FUNCTIONS 47
• Mouse/keyboard activity is detected on the FOLLOWER User Station(s) when the Multiple
Video command is issued. Paragon will NOT execute Multiple Video in order to protect that
server’s operation.
• The FOLLOWER User Station is P2-USTIP which enters the remote mode (no OSUI
displayed).
• The FOLLOWER User Station is set to Local PC mode.
• There are not enough FOLLOWER User Stations subsequent to ACTIVATOR User Station.
Messages on the FOLLOWER User Stations
When the Multiple Video command is issued, a message similar to the following will be
displayed on the FOLLOWER User Stations. Any keyboard output on these User Stations is
invalid in the Multiple Video mode.
Figure 50 Multiple Video Message on the FOLLOWER User Stations
Using P2-USTIP for Multiple Video Outputs
P2-USTIP has two operation modes: remote and local modes.
In the remote mode (no OSUI displayed):
P2-USTIP CANNOT function as either the ACTIVATOR or FOLLOWER User Station in this
mode. If a remote user accesses an ACTIVATOR channel via P2-USTIP, the Multiple Video
function is NOT triggered at all.
In the local mode (OSUI displayed):
This is the only mode in which Multiple Video functions. Enter the local mode by pressing
Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Then P2-USTIP can act as either the ACTIVATOR or FOLLOWER User
Station.
