Paragon II 4.3 or Later Firmware Version

As long as the card reader function is intended in the Paragon II system,

you must ensure the firmware version of the Paragon switch (or switches)

in the chosen path is 4.3 or later. Otherwise, the card reader function is not

available even though both of the reader-enabled user station and CIM are

present in the path.

To upgrade the firmware version of existing Paragon switches to 4.3 or

later, including Paragon I HW3 and Paragon II, see Firmware Upgrade

(on page 167) for additional information.

Using the Card Reader

Once all required reader-enabled components are installed in the Paragon

system, and the proper driver and authentication software have been

configured in the servers, the card reader authentication is ready for use.

Note that when you connect the P2-EUST/C user station to the Paragon

Base Unit with 4.3 or later firmware version, the whole system comprising

the Base Unit and its tiers enters the Private Mode regardless of the

original Operation Mode setting. This is to ensure that only the user that

has validated his or her credentials may view the server's video output.

1. Using the P2-EUST/C, verify that the user station is connected to a

keyboard/mouse/VGA monitor, and is turned on. See Basic

Installation (on page 11) for more details.

If the client authentication software has been configured properly,

either a blank screen or a message prompting you to insert the card

appears. The message varies depending on the configuration of your

authentication software.
