Video Redirection (Forced Video)
You can have any server send its video/keyboard/mouse data to any user
station other than yours. This function is called “Forced Video” and it can
be performed using either OSUI or Paragon Manager.
As an administrator, you can authorize specific normal users to perform
this function. Both of the authorization and operation of these users can
only be done through Paragon Manager. In addition, with Paragon
Manager, you can remotely perform the Forced Video function. See
Paragon Manager User Guide
for additional information. This user guide is
available on Raritan website's
Firmware and Documentation section
(http://www.raritan.com/support/firmware-and-documentation/).
Those who have the permission to perform Forced Video include:
•
Administrator—the
Admin
account (by default)
•
Users with administrator privileges (by default)
•
Users who are authorized to perform the Forced Video function;
however, these users must operate the function through Paragon
Manager only instead of OSUI
Illustration Example
You are operating on the user station “A” as shown in the diagram below.
Now you can issue the Forced Video command to direct one server to
output its data to one of the user stations connected to the same Paragon
II switch as your user station. It is impossible to direct the server to output
its data to user stations connected to a Paragon switch other than the Base
Unit—UMT-1, such as user station “E” or “F.”
The permitted data direction is shown below:
•
Data transmitted from one of the base-tier servers
(from 1-1 to 1-3)
TO one of the user stations connected to UMT-1
(B to D)
