Feature Overview
The Paradigm allows you to control up to 64 PCs with one keyboard,
monitor and mouse. Each computer can be up to 30 feet away from the
Paradigm. The Paradigm works with IBM PC AT and PS 2 systems, and
100% compatible machines with support for VGA, SVGA, XGA and XGA-II
video. PS 2 keyboard and PS 2 mouse peripherals are supported through
the rear of the unit.
A Paradigm unit will support from one to eight attached PCs, or channels.
If more than eight channels are needed, multiple units can be cascaded
together for expansion. Up to 2 tiers of units can be connected for a total
of 64 attached computers in one system.
The AutoBoot feature boots all attached servers during initial power-up or
after a power failure. PCs are booted transparently without operator
intervention, and may be powered-up one-at-a-time or all at once. When
the power stabilizes, a channel may be selected. The first available channel
is automatically selected upon power-up of the base Paradigm.
Configure and control your Paradigm with on-screen menuing! Name
your computer channels anything you wish, then select the desired
computer from an easy-to-use menu. Secondary menus let you configure
and initiate channel scanning and other system features.
Use the advanced bi-level security feature to configure and control server
access for every type of user in the system. The administrator has full
access privileges; individual users can have viewing or viewing editing
capability for each attached server.
The Paradigm offers full support for the Microsoft IntelliMouse.

In addition to using the on-screen menus, you can switch computer
channels with a simple keyboard sequence.
Paradigm’s “Keep Alive” feature allows attached servers to power the unit
in the event of a Paradigm power failure. This prevents attached PCs from
locking up and keeps you from losing time and data.
A built-in scanning feature allows you to automatically monitor, or scan,
your PCs without intervention. When keyboard activity is detected,
scanning is suspended until all activity stops. Scanning then resumes with
the next channel in sequence.
