Mouse Emulation (CS-450 external
version)
Introduction
The CS-450 Eclipse has an RS232 communications port that can be made to emulate a
Microsoft® Serial Mouse, and all the features are controlled from the infra-r ed remote
control. This section details how to setup and use this feature.
Please note that it is not possible to emulate a PS/2-type mouse with the Eclipse.
Hardware setup
Setup of this feature requires the connection of an RS232 cable. Either:
use a (null-modem) serial cable to link from the Eclipse's RS232 connection to the
first spare COM port on your PC (usually COM2, but use COM1 if it's available);
or, disconnect your serial mouse from your PC and use TV One's RS232 Sharer
Cable (optional) to link from your PC to the Eclipse - plugging the mouse back
into the RS232 sharer unit.
Eclipse setup
Make sure that RS232 mode is set to Mouse (and not 'Control') within the Advanced
menu of the On-screen Display. ('Control' mode is the default.)
Using the mouse emulator
The Eclipse uses the computer 's standard mouse driver savin g the n eed to load additional
software, just turn your computer on with Eclipse attached as described above.
If you are using an RS232 sharer cable, both the existing mouse and the Eclipse will
share the same COM port and software driver.
If you are using a separate COM port for the Eclipse, your PC may recognize that a
Mouse is attached when booting up. If it doesn't, run "Add New Hardware" from the
Control Panel to automatically install the "Standard Serial Mouse" driver.
You can now use the four arrow buttons to move your mouse pointer around the
screen.
L.CLICK (left click) has the same function as a single left click of a standard
mouse button.
D.CLICK (double click), has the same function as a double left click of a standard
mouse button.
R.CLICK (right click), has the same function as a single right click of a standard
mouse button.
