In a Paragon system, when a CIM or tier device is removed from the system or powered off 
(manually or accidentally), a record of the CIM or CIMs connected to that tier device is reserved 
in the Paragon system. The target (or port) name will continue to appear in black text on the On-
Screen Display (OSUI) of local user stations, and will also appear, with inactive status, in clients 
such as Raritan MPC (Multi-Platform Client), RRC (Raritan Remote Client), Paragon Manager, 
P2SC (Paragon II System Controller) Admin, and CC (CommandCenter).  

In versions of PCCI 1.2 and later (and with standalone Paragon 4.1 and later), the default 
Ghosting mode on the Paragon OSUI is set to Enable.  When an active CIM is removed from one 
channel and connected to another channel (‘hot-swapped’), you will see two identical CIM entries 
on the OSUI of the Paragon Clients: one in green text (indicating that it is active) and another in 
black text (indicating that it is inactive). The inactive CIM is known as the ‘ghost’ CIM. To stop 
displaying records of the inactive CIMs after they are hot-swapped into a different port, you must 
set the Ghosting mode in Paragon to Disable.  

Even if Ghosting mode in your Paragon device is set to Disable, Paragon Manager allows the 
capability to override the ghost setting on the local machine. Choose View > Ghosted Channels 
to display any ghosted channels even though they are invisible throughout the rest of the Paragon 
system. This feature allows you to override the Ghosting preferences without changing settings of 
the entire system. It should be used for administration and for troubleshooting. Please see the next 
section for specifying Ghosting preferences for the system.
