AdderView MP

Installation and Use

Page 16

The AdderView MP is now ready for use and will start to operate as soon as one of
the attached PCs is powered on. If you are connecting to PCs using cables that are
longer than 5 metres or are cascading the AdderView MP to another AdderView MP
you will need to use the optional power adapter. When using the optional power
adapter, ensure that it is connected to the mains and powering the AdderView MP
before you switch on the connected computers. Failure to switch the AdderView MP
and computers on in the correct order can lead to the mouse and/or keyboard not
being recognised by the computers when they are switched on.

2.4 ‘Interface powered’ operation without the optional power
       adapter

The AdderView MP draws its power from the connected computers via the keyboard
cables. A single keyboard connection is normally sufficient to power the AdderView
MP provided that the cable is no longer than 5 metres. If more than one computer is
connected then the power will be intelligently drawn from all computers. Cables
longer than 5 metres may be used provided that the AdderView MP is already
powered by another connected computer or the optional power adapter. If you are
cascading the AdderView MP to another AdderView MP then a power adapter must
be connected to all AdderView MPs.

2.5 Configuring your computers

Configure your computers in the same way that you would if your keyboard, mouse
and monitor were all connected directly to your computer. For PCs, the AdderView
MP emulates Microsoft compatible serial, IntelliMouse, and PS/2 mice, so ensure
that your PC software is configured for a Microsoft mouse of the correct type. Refer
to the list of supported drivers in section 2.1.

2.6 Configuring the AdderView MP

The AdderView MP is supplied pre-configured with factory defaults which are
suitable for most applications. There are a number of more advanced options which
can be set by the user. These are stored in the AdderView MP's EEPROM memory
and are retained when the power is disconnected.

The options may be changed whilst the AdderView MP is in configure mode. You
may enter configure mode at initial power on or whilst the AdderView MP is running:
