User manual

36 PARAGON II USER MANUAL
Guidelines for System Configuration
• Only one user should attempt to modify/update the System Administration Menu at one time
(especially the User Configuration and Channel Configuration options).
• Z-CIMs should be added one at a time to a Z-CIM chain. The Administrator should read from message
banner that the database has been completely updated before adding a new Z-CIM.
• If updating the system is necessary at Installation, make certain all users have logged off.
• When powering ON or when power cycling cascaded configurations, we recommend users power ON
the Base Units in the third tier (if there is one) first, then power ON the subsidiary Base Units in the
second tier, then power ON the master Base Unit. User Stations can be powered ON and OFF at any
time as needed. Please note that this order is the reverse of the order recommended for upgrading
a
cascaded configuration; when upgrading, the Base tier should be first, followed by the second tier,
followed by the third tier.
• When naming or renaming a CIM, switch to that CIM to activate it and to ensure the new name is
stored or updated in the UMT database.
System Configuration
Administrators can use the System Configuration Menu for setting certain global parameters.
1. From the Administration Menu, press 1 or use the up- and down-arrow keys to move the highlight to
“System Configuration” and press the Enter key. The System Configuration Menu will appear,
displaying the current parameters (described below and on the following pages).
2. Press the down-arrow or Tab key to move the highlight forward, or the up-arrow or Shift + Tab to
move the highlight backward to a desired field. Press the Enter key to edit the field. The highlighted
area will turn green. Some fields have character or numeric values you can type in; others have values
you can toggle between with the arrow keys. When editing is complete, either press the Enter key
followed by S to save your changes, or press Esc to abort the changes and continue using the previous
settings.

• Device ID: Type in the desired name for the single or master Paragon II Base Unit. It is important for
Base Units in a cascaded system with multiple Base Units to have distinctive names, so that users can
tell them apart. (The system will assign each Base Unit the default name “Paragon usersxchannel
ports”: each P2-UMT242 will be named “Paragon 242, each P2-UMT442 “Paragon 442,” etc.)
• Display All Computers: This option can be “Yes” or “No” to respectively allow or disallow users
from viewing channel port listings for all connected devices through the OSUI, even if the user doesn’t
have the security privileges to access them. The factory-default setting is No.
• Logoff Time Out: If enabled, the amount of time in minutes that a user station can remain inactive (no
keyboard or mouse activity) before the logged-in user at that station is logged out of the Paragon II
system.
