3. Using the ADDERview
This section explains the general operation of the ADDERview. We recommend that
you read this section before starting to use the product.
3.1 Power indicator
The ADDERview draws its power from the attached CPUs via the keyboard cables.
The green power light confirms that there is sufficient power available. If the power
light flashes or is off continuously then there is not sufficient power available.
3.2 Front panel key
The front panel key is used to select which channel is currently connected to the
shared keyboard, mouse and monitor. It is also used to enter configuration mode
(see section 2.5). Pressing the key during normal operation will cause the next
channel to be selected. For the 2 port ADDERview this cycles around ports 1 and 2.
For the 4 port ADDERview this cycles around ports 1, 2, 3 and 4.
3.3 Channel lights
The channel lights indicate the currently selected channel. The currently illuminated
channel light will flash to indicate keyboard and mouse activity. In auto-scan mode
the lights alternate between showing the currently selected port and indicating that
the ADDERview is in auto-scan mode by flashing all the lights. Channel lights 1 and
2 are illuminated together when the ADDERview is in maintenance mode.
