Channel Configuration
As administrator, use the Channel Configuration Menu to edit or initialize a P2CIM-PS2. You can change
the device name, individual scan rate, device type, and group IDs associated with each server or device.
When you save Channel Configuration changes, Paragon II will update each affected P2CIM-PS2 as
necessary.
Figure 38 The “left end” of the Channel Configuration Menu
This menu displays one channel port’s information in each row. If the Paragon system detects a powered
device on that channel port, it will display the text in that row in green; otherwise, it will display it in black.
There are two “sides” of this menu, indicated by the right-pointing arrow at the top of the menu. The fields
and columns on the “left side” of this menu:
• ChID: The channel port’s channel port-ID number.
• Name: The name of the device attached to that channel port. Device names are case-sensitive and may
be up to twelve alphanumeric characters long. As shown with channel port #1 in and elsewhere, you
may leave a device name blank if you wish, but Raritan does not recommend this.
• Scn: Displays the device’s individual scan rate (the length of time that the system pauses while
scanning that channel port for any user with Scan Mode set to “Individual” rather than “Global”).
Using leading zeroes if necessary, type in a two-digit number of seconds from 01 to 24, or use the up-
and down-arrow keys to increment and decrement the current value by 1 respectively. The default
setting is 03.
Use the arrow keys, [Tab], [Shift] + [Tab], [PgUp] (page up), [PgDn] (page down), [Home], and [End] to
move within this menu and its submenus. Press the [Enter] key to edit a highlighted field; it will turn green.
When you finish editing a field, press either the [Enter] key followed by [S] to save the changes, or press
the [Esc] key to abort them.
