Illustration Example
You are operating on the User Station 1 (UST-1). Now you can issue the Forced Video command
to direct one server to output its data to one of the User Stations connected to the same
Paragon II
matrix switch as your UST-1. Note that you cannot direct the server output its data to User
Stations connected to a Paragon matrix switch other than the Base Unit, such as UST-A or
UST-B in the diagram below.
The permitted data direction is shown below:
• One of the base-tier servers (Base-1 to Base-3) Æ one of the base-tier User Stations (UST-1
to UST-3)
- OR -
• One of the upper-tier servers (such as 2T-1 to 2T-3) Æ one of the base-tier User Stations
(UST-1 to UST-3)
