  • Page 58: Group Settings (Access Rights)

    Group Settings (Access Rights) To assign access rights to users and security levels to server CPUs in a Paragon system, assign users to user groups with defined rights and CPUs to channel port groups with defined accessibility. Each group can contain multiple users or CPUs. By default, all users start out assigned to user group 00 and all CPUs start out assigned to channel port group 00.

  • Page 59: Recommendations

    “00” for the Main System Administrator, and user IDs 01 through 09 for Assistant Administrators. These IDs provide a broader scope of access. Correspondingly, Raritan recommends that those CPUs that all users will need to access, such as application or document servers, be assigned to channel port group 00, and that servers needing the most security protection be assigned to channel port groups from 10 to 99.

If your existing CAT5 site-wiring system meets these requirements, feel free to send the signals through your site’s patch panels, existing wiring, etc., but you should keep the number of patches and splices to a minimum to avoid degrading the video signals.
