3. Press Tab and the message "Force switch to user port" appears on
the message bar.
4. Type the port number of the desired user station. For example, if you
want to direct the data to the user station connected to the user port
No. 3, type 3 and press Enter.
See Video Redirection (Forced Video) (on page 104) for details.
Case 5. Using Multiple Video Ports
Purpose: To have the access to a specific video port automatically trigger
the video outputs of the other video ports on the same server (Paragon is
designed to output a maximum of 16 video ports of a server).
1. Connect four video ports of the server respectively to four channels of
the same Paragon switch via four CIMs. Three of the CIMs must be
P2CIM-AUSB and one could be either P2CIM-AUSB or P2CIM-APS2.
For example, you may connect them to channel port No. 1, 2, 3 and
26.
See Connecting CIMs to a Multi-Channel Video Server (on page
84) for details.
2.
The Paragon administrator sets up the channel association group
using Paragon Manager. Do this:
a. Launch Paragon Manager.
b. Connect and log into the Paragon system by doing this: choose
Session > Connect --> choose the Paragon switch you want to
connect --> type the administrator name/password --> click
Login.
c. Create the association group consisting of channel numbers 1, 2,
3 and 26: choose Set up > Multiple Video > New --> type
necessary data --> select four channels 1, 2, 3 and 26 --> click
OK.
d. Ensure the channel triggering the video outputs of the other
channels is set as the “first” channel. For example, the
administrator may choose 3 in the First Channel field so channel
No. 3 will be the channel which causes the other three channels to
output their video data.

3. Any user who wants to perform the Multiple Video function logs into
the Paragon system. For example, one user uses the user station
connected to the user port No. 2 to log into the system with the
following user name which has no password required.
