9. Repeat steps 3 through 8 for all other CPUs you want to attach.
Note: Although users and servers can be located up to 1000 (304 m) apart, for optimal video
quality, limit cable length between the Main Switching Unit and CIM to less than 100 feet (30.5
m). For good video quality, limit cable length between the Main Switching Unit and CIM to less
than 500 feet (152 m).
Initial Administrative Testing
To verify that an attached server can be viewed and controlled through the Paragon system:
1. When you first power ON the Paragon Base Unit, an attached User Station, and the User
Station’s attached monitor; the Login screen appears. Type admin in the User Name field
and press ENTER. Type raritan (all lowercase) in the Password field and press ENTER.
Note: The factory-default user names are user01 through up to user16 (depending on the model
of the Base Unit) for regular users and admin for the admin user. User names are not case-
sensitive. By default, a password is required only for the admin user, and that password is raritan.
Passwords are case-sensitive.
