Hot plugging and mouse restoration It is strongly recommended that you switch off a host system before attempting to connect it to the Adder unit. However, if this is not possible then you need to ‘hot plug’ the system while it is still running. There is not normally a danger of damage to the system, however, when PS/2-style mouse or IntelliMouse communications (i.e. non-USB) are interrupted, often they fail to re-initialise...

SECT 4 Operation In operation, the Adder unit allows you to quickly switch between up to \�four systems. One system can be accessed at a time, whereupon the common keyboard, mouse, video monitors and serial channels are linked to that system. The Adder unit deceives the other systems that they still have their per\�ipherals connected to them in order that they respond quickly and correctly once they are again selected. The...

5 Mouse button switching modes You can use a three button mouse to switch between systems. However, when used in this way, the action of the middle mouse button or scroll wheel click is ‘trapped’ by the Adder unit and is not passed to the system. Th\�is makes it unavailable for use in controlling applications on the selected system. The scroll wheel scrolling action is unaffected and passed on normally to the systems, only the scroll...

Autoscanning computer selection These configuration options allow you to determine how the autoscannin\�g feature chooses which computer to view. WARNING - When switching between different video sources, some CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) type monitors will operate an internal mechanical relay at every switchover - this can be heard as a mechanical ‘click’. To avoid damaging the mechanical contacts of such relays, do not operate...

A specialised upgrade cable is required to connect the Adder unit to the serial port of a suitable system. The cabl\�e may be purchased from your supplier, direct from Adder or created using the pin-out given later in this guide. You can...
