 on the keyboard to cause the ADDERview to report its version

number to the port that was selected when maintenance mode was entered (this
port’s video is displayed on the monitor). The CPU attached to this port must be
running a text editor or word processor that is ready to accept keyboard input.
After pressing the key the ADDERview will automatically return to normal
operation mode.

 on the keyboard to attempt to synchronise the mouse connection

on the port that was selected when maintenance mode was entered (this port’s
video is displayed on the monitor). After pressing the key the ADDERview will
automatically return to normal operation mode. (see section 2.8 for information
on using this function)

 

Press the ADDERview’s front panel key to cause the shared keyboard and
mouse to be reset. The reset function removes the power to the keyboard and
mouse for a few seconds and then re-powers them. The front panel power light
will go off to indicated that the power has been removed. Once the keyboard and
mouse have been reset the ADDERview will automatically return to normal
operation.  The other functions of the ADDERview that deal with the CPU
connections are fully maintained during this process.

3.7 Resetting the shared keyboard and mouse

The ADDERview is fitted with a keyboard and mouse reset function. This function
powers down the devices for a couple of seconds and resets them. The rest of the
ADDERview continues to work normally and the connections to the CPUs are
unaffected. This function is useful if the mouse has become disconnected or is to be
changed for another type. It is also useful if there is an error that has caused the
keyboard or mouse to operate incorrectly.

To reset the shared keyboard and mouse, enter maintenance mode (see section
3.6). Whilst within maintenance mode press the front panel key. The power light will
go off for a few seconds and then come on again when the keyboard and mouse
have been reset. The ADDERview will then be operating normally.
