described in Appendix A. This adapter is the same as is shipped with Microsoft
®
auto-sensing mice. The ADDERview will operate without a mouse connected if you
do not wish to use one.
2.2 Mounting the ADDERview
The ADDERview has been designed to be used either on a desktop or mounted
close to the computer system boxes which it is serving.
2.3 Connecting your devices
If possible, power down the computers that are to be connected to the ADDERview
before connection. Ensure that the optional power adapter is disconnected. If you
have to connect the ADDERview to CPUs that are already powered on you may
need to use the mouse restoration functions (see section 2.8).
Connect the shared keyboard, PS/2 mouse and monitor to the connectors at the
front of the ADDERview (see fig 1). Next connect each computer system unit in turn
with the keyboard cable, mouse cable and video cable. Any unused computer
connections can be left unconnected. To connect computers with serial mouse
connections and AT style keyboard connections use the adapters supplied in the
cabling pack as shown below. Alternatively, if you have chosen not to purchase the
cable pack, refer to appendix A for cable specifications.
The ADDERview is now ready for use. It will start to operate as soon as one of the
connected CPUs is powered on or the optional power adapter is connected. The
power light confirms that sufficient power is available to operate the ADDERview.
