AdderView
Installation and Use
Page 19
3.2 Front panel key and remote controller
The front panel key is used to select which channel is currently controlled by the
shared keyboard, mouse and monitor ports. Pressing the key during normal
operation will cause the next channel to be selected.
The key can also be used to access the AdderView’s configuration mode (see
section 2.6). To do this press the key and hold it down for 5 seconds until ‘C’
appears on the AdderView’s front panel display.
An optional remote controller is also available which replicates the front panel key
and display, but can be located remotely from the AdderView. This is particularly
useful in applications where the AdderView is located away from the desktop. The
remote controller can be conveniently attached to your keyboard with a couple of
Velcro strips to give instant channel information and key control.
3.3 Status display
The red status display usually shows the currently selected port. If autoscan mode is
selected, the segments will illuminate in sequence in a clockwise direction
interspersed with a display of the currently selected channel. If AdderView has been
locked, ‘P’ will be displayed until a valid password has been typed to unlock the unit.
Data flow from the mouse or keyboard causes the dot to flash.
The green front panel status indicators (1-8) that show the on/off status of the
connected computers.
