2.8 Other useful installation information

PC boot up sequence

- When your PCs are powered on they communicate with

any attached keyboards and mice and setup parameters required by the particular
operating system. It is necessary for the AdderView to be attached and powered on
during this sequence so that it can give the required responses and keep track of all
the modes and settings requested by each of the connected PCs.

Mouse characteristics

- do not unplug a PS/2 mouse connection from a PC whilst

the PC is on. Due to the design of PS/2 mice communications the mouse function on
the PC will be lost and you will have to re-boot the PC to regain normal operation.
Unplugging the mouse from the AdderView will also cause it to stop operating when
it is plugged back in. RS232 mice can usually be unplugged and plugged back in
provided that a mouse was connected when the operating system initially booted.
The AdderView is fitted with a PS/2 mouse recovery system which allows you to
disconnect and re-connect the shared mouse without powering down the system
