Video Delay 
If channel switching or autoscanning takes too long to sync up on 
Paragon II, especially when your servers are set with different 
resolutions, it may create a displaying issue with your monitor. At this 
time, set a video delay for channel port switching at your user station. 
If you set the video delay to any number of seconds greater than zero, 
Paragon II will wait until a video signal is constant for that number of 
seconds before passing it through to the monitor. 
To set video delay, use any of the arrow keys to move the highlight to the 
Video delay--switching field, press Enter to turn the highlight green, 
type the desired two-digit delay from 00 to 30 seconds (or use the 
 
and 
  keys to increase or decrease the value by 1), and press Enter 
again to select it. 
Press S to save the changes, or press Esc and then N to exit without 
saving changes. The changes are applied only to your user station (the 
station at which the change was made). 
 
User Port Timeout 
Similar to the Logoff Timeout field in the System Configuration 
submenu (see 
System Configuration
 (on page 101) for more details), 
this field also sets up the amount of time in minutes the user station can 
remain inactive (no keyboard and mouse activity) before the logged-in 
user at this user station is logged out of the Paragon II system. The 
difference between these two is the Logoff Timeout field controls all 
user stations of the system, and the User Port Timeout field controls 
only the one you are operating. 
To turn on the function, use any arrow key to move the highlight to the 
User Port Timeout field, press Enter to turn the highlight green, use any 
arrow key to toggle the field to “On,” and press Enter again to select it. 
To specify the amount of inactive time preferred, press 
 to highlight 
the next field, press Enter to turn the highlight green, type the desired 
two-digit number from 01 to 99 minutes (or use the 
 and   keys to 
increase or decrease the value by 1), and press Enter again to select it. 
Press S to save the changes, or press Esc and then N to exit without 
saving changes. The changes are applied only to the user port at which 
the changes were made. Note that the timeout setting is not assigned to 
the user station. The setting is assigned to the user port. Any user station 
can be connected to the port and will be “timed out” based on the setting. 
Note: If you turn on both of the Logoff Timeout and User Port Timeout 
functions at the same time, only the User Port Timeout function is 
applied to the user station(s) where the User Port Timeout is enabled. 
However, the Logoff Timeout setting is applied back once you turn off 
the User Port Timeout function at the user station(s).
