30 PARAGON II USER GUIDE
To choose a server from the Selection Menu (default Scroll Lock, Scroll Lock to activate the
OSUI, then F2 to activate the Selection Menu):
1. Press F12 to toggle the menu to sort-order view of your choice (by channel port-ID number
or alphabetically by device name). The entry for the channel port you currently have selected
(if any) will be highlighted and will have a small red arrow to the left of its channel port name.
Note: In the channel port-ID view, the Selection Menu can display either all channel ports or
only those channel ports that the current user is allowed to select (the default view). If the system
administrator has set the “Display All Computers” option in the System Configuration menu (see
Chapter 4: Operation – Administrator Functions, System Configuration) to “Yes,” you can
press F10 to toggle between the restricted and unrestricted views. In the unrestricted “all
channel ports” view, the Paragon displays a red “S” next to the scan rate of any channel port
that the user is not permitted to access.
2. Use the Ç and È keys (and, for longer lists, the PageUp and PageDown keys) to move the
highlight bar to the channel port you want to select, and then press ENTER. Note that
although the highlight will move, the small red arrow to the left of the channel port name will
remain stationary, indicating the user’s currently-selected channel port, until a new selection
is made.
A. In channel port-ID view, once all channel ports page are assigned, you can press the
desired channel port’s key number (1 through 8) to move the highlight to that channel
port instantly.
B. In name view, you can type the first few characters of the desired channel port’s name to
move the highlight to the first channel port whose name begins with that character
sequence.
3. Press ENTER to select a channel port. If there is a server CPU attached to the channel port
that you are permitted to access, Paragon II automatically switches you to that channel port
for normal server operation, and the OSUI disappears. If there is a cascaded Base Unit
attached to that channel port, an additional dedicated OSUI Selection Menu will appear for
that device; keep moving through the Selection Menu layers until you reach the CPU you
want.
Note: To return to the main Selection Menu from any second- or third-tier device-specific
Selection Menu, press the Home key on your keyboard once, or press the ESC key once or twice
depending which tier you are currently on.
