2.4.2 Setting the autoscan dwell time The AdderView may be made to autoscan the connected computers. During autoscan the AdderView displays the video signal from each computer in turn for a selected time period. This time period is known as the dwell time and may be selected to be 2 or 5 seconds using option switch 7. Ports are scanned in ascending numerical sequence and all the ports or just the active ports will be scanned according to the setting of option switch 8. AdderView USB Installation and Use Page 15 2.4.3 Setting the AdderView to scan all ports or just the active ports The AdderView’s front panel button may be used to select the required computer. To avoid the need to press the key more times than necessary the AdderView may be set to scan just the ports that have powered computers attached. When the AdderView has been set to scan these ‘active’ ports, only these ports may be selected using the front panel button. If you wish to be able to select all the ports, regardless of whether the connected computers are powered on or not, then the AdderView may be set to scan all ports. The scan strategy is selected using option switch 8. This setting also controls the ports that are scanned during autoscan and the ports that may be selected using the keyboard hotkeys+TAB or a 3-button mouse (model AV4USB-PC only). The AdderView determines if a port is active by monitoring the signals present on the USB interface cable. The AdderView is not able to detect an active computer if a USB cable from that computer is not connected to the AdderView. 2.4.4 Setting the keyboard hotkey combination (model AV4USB-PC only) The AdderView’s channel may be selected by pressing keyboard hotkey combinations on the keyboard attached to the PS/2 keyboard port. Keyboard hotkey combinations consist of three keys that are pressed together to activate the required function. For example, pressing CTRL and ALT and 2 together would select channel 2 (assuming the default hotkeys). Certain hotkey combinations may sometimes be used by other systems or software so various different hotkey combinations may be selected. Options switches 1 and 2 are used to select the required hotkey combination or disable the hotkeys. 2.4.5 Enabling and disabling mouse channel switching (model AV4USB-PC only) A three button PS/2 mouse or an IntelliMouse can be used to switch channels on the AdderView. To switch to the next channel, the user simply holds down the central button or wheel button and presses the left hand button to change channel. If the AdderView USB Installation and Use Page 16 user does not wish to take advantage of this feature, it can be disabled using option switch 3. If the third button is being used to switch the AdderView then it is not available for use with PC software although the function of an IntelliMouse wheel is not affected. If you wish to use the full function of a 3 button mouse or IntelliMouse for your PC software then you should disable mouse channel switching. 2.5 Powering on the AdderView The AdderView is powered from the supplied mains power adapter. There is no on/off switch on the AdderView so it will start to operate as soon as the power adapter has been connected to the AdderView and plugged into the mains supply. 2.6 Configuring your computers We recommend that you configure each computer in turn for operation with your USB devices without changing the AdderView’s channel. Configure your computers as if the USB devices were connected directly to the computer. Some PC compatible computers may not recognise a USB keyboard or mouse until a suitable driver has been loaded. It may only be possible to load these drivers if you have keyboard and mouse control and so consequently you may need to connect a traditional style PS/2 keyboard and mouse to load the USB drivers. Once these USB drivers have been loaded the PS/2 keyboard and mouse may be disconnected. Remember that you must be using a suitable operating system such as Windows 98 or Mac OS 8.6. If you are using a version of Apple’s operating system earlier than 8.6 then you must upgrade to a later version. This upgrade is available on Apple’s website. If you use an earlier operating system then your peripherals will hang after typically 25 channel changes. AdderView USB Installation and Use Page 17 2.7 Re-enabling a disconnected PS/2 mouse (AV4USB-PC only) If you disconnect the PS/2-style mouse from the AdderView by accident during operation then the mouse operation will be lost when the mouse is plugged back in. To avoid having to reboot the entire system in this situation the AdderView is fitted with an automatic mouse recovery system. With the PS/2 mouse disconnected, change the channel using the front panel key or keyboard hotkeys. The AdderView detects that the mouse has been disconnected and triggers the automatic recovery system. Plug in the PS/2 mouse and the AdderView will re-initialise it.
