CHAPTER 4: O PERATION – ADMINISTRATOR F UNCTIONS 41• Display All Computers: This option can be “Yes” or “No” to respectively allow or disallowusers from viewing channel port listings for all connected devices through the OSUI, even ifthe 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 remaininactive (no keyboard or mouse activity) before the logged-in user at that station is logged outof the Paragon II system.− Possible values in the first field are “On” (Logoff Timeout is enabled) and “Off” (LogoffTimeout is disabled – the default value). Use the Ç and È keys to toggle between thesevalues.− If Logoff Timeout is set to “On,” the number in the second field is the number of minutesof inactivity that must elapse before the timeout is triggered and the user is logged out.Using leading zeroes if necessary, type in a two-digit number of minutes from 01 to 99,or use the Ç and È keys to increment and decrement the current value by 1 respectively.The default setting is 05. If Logoff Timeout is set to “Off,” the number in this field willhave no effect.• Operation Mode: Any of the three ways in which the Paragon system handles requests frommultiple users for access to the same channel port. Use the Ç and È keys to switch betweenthe choices:− Private: A server or other device on a specific channel port can be accessed exclusivelyby only one user at a time. No other users can see or control that device until itscontrolling user selects a different channel port.− Public View: While one user is accessing a server or other device on a specific channelport, other users can select that channel port and view the video output from that device,but only the first user will have keyboard and mouse control. When the first user selects adifferent channel port, the waiting user who is first to type or move his/her mouse isgiven keyboard and mouse control. Status messages showing users’ identities appear onvideo-sharing users’ monitors when Public View mode is in effect.− PC Share: A server or other device on a specific channel port can be selected andaccessed by more than one user, but only one user has keyboard and mouse control at anyone time. If the PC share timeout is enabled and the user in control is idle (no keyboardor mouse activity) for the duration of the timeout, the waiting user who is first to type ormove his/her mouse is given keyboard and mouse control of the PC.• P-View Admin Silent: When Operation Mode is set to “Public View,” the user in control ofa server is normally notified when other users start and stop viewing the channel port’s video.However, when P-View Admin Silent is set to “Yes,” administrators can view other users’video without activating this viewing-notification message. Use the up- and down-arrows totoggle between “Yes” and “No.” The default setting is No.• PC Share Timeout: If Operation Mode is set to “PC Share” and more than one user hasselected a server, the first user to type or use his/her mouse will have control of the server.However, another user can gain control of the server if the first user’s keyboard and mouseremain idle for the length of this timeout. Using leading zeroes if necessary, type in a two-digit number of seconds from 01 to 99, or use the Ç and È keys to increment and decrementthe current value by 1 respectively. The default setting is 01.• Ghosting Mode: In a Paragon system, when a CIM or tier device is removed from the systemor powered off (manually or accidentally), a record of the CIM or CIMs connected to thatdevice is reserved in the Paragon system. The target (or port) name continues to appear inblack text on the OSD of local user ports, and also appears with inactive status in other clients,such as Paragon Manager, RRC/MPC, PIISC, and CC, that work with Paragon. If Ghosting isset to Enable, when an active CIM is removed from one channel and connected to anotherchannel (‘hot-swapped’), you will see two identical CIM entries on the OSUI of ParagonClients: one in green text (active) and another in black text (inactive). The inactive CIM isknown as a ‘ghost’ CIM. To remove records of the inactive CIMs after they are hot-pluggedinto a different port, select Disable. The default Ghosting Mode setting is Enable.• Login Sleep: A power-saving mode that is activated once users log in. Login Sleep acts as ascreensaver if the user station is idle (no keyboard or mouse activity) for a specified amount
