To restore lost mouse movement on a CPU connected to the ADDERview:
1)
Select the CPU that has lost its mouse movement
2)
Press the key on the front of the ADDERview for 5 seconds until lights 1 and 2
are displayed together. The ADDERview is now in maintenance mode.
3)
To restore a PS/2 mouse connection press

Or, to restore an IntelliMouse connection press

4)
Test the mouse movement by slowly moving the mouse a short distance. In most
cases the mouse should now work and no further action will be necessary
5)
If the mouse darts uncontrollably around the screen then there are two possible
reasons.
Firstly the CPU may be expecting a different mouse data packet format. A PS/2
mouse sends a 3 data character report and an IntelliMouse sends a 4 data
character report. If you are in doubt then try setting the other data format (see
step 3).
Secondly, the data packet format may be correct but the ADDERview and the
CPU may not be correctly synchronised. In other words the ADDERview may be
sending the first data character whilst the CPU is expecting the second data
character. Most PC mouse drivers will automatically re-synchronise themselves if
no mouse data has been received and so this is not normally a problem.
However some mouse drivers do not automatically re-synchronise. The
ADDERview is fitted with a re-synchronisation function that allows the
synchronisation between the ADDERview and the CPU to be altered by 1 data
character. Using this function the synchronisation between the ADDERview and
the CPU can be matched.
To attempt to re-synchronise the mouse press the key on the front of the
ADDERview for 5 seconds until lights 1 and 2 are displayed together. The
ADDERview is now in maintenance mode.
Now press

on the keyboard. Test the mouse function and repeat this
procedure up to 3 times until correct mouse operation is restored.
