ADDER SmartView X PRO Manual

							SmartView XProInstallation and UsePage 404. Using the SmartView XProThis section explains the general operation of the SmartView XPro. We recommend
that you read this section before starting to use the product.
4.1 Rear panel special function switches
Before powering on the SmartView ensure that the two option switches on the rear
are set to the OFF (up) position. Option switch 1 is reserved for future use and
option switch 2 is used to enable firmware upgrades (see section 5).
4.2 Power supply connections and indicators
The SmartView XPro is fitted with two power inlets that are labelled A and B (see
figure 2). These power inlets are both the same and either inlet may be used to
power the SmartView XPro. The SmartView is shipped with a single power adapter
but you may optionally purchase a second power adapter to provide power supply
redundancy (part code PSU-IEC-5VDC). Plug the power adapter into one of the
inlets. The power indicators on the front of the SmartView (see figure 1) monitor the
voltage that is being supplied to each power inlet. If the power indicators A or B are
illuminated then a healthy power adapter is connected. If you have two healthy
power adapters connected then you may disconnect and reconnect one of then
without disturbing the operation of the SmartView.
4.3 USER display and key switch
The USER key selects the user port that is shown on the green USER display (see
figure 1). Pressing the key will cause the green display to change to the next user
port in numerical sequence. When the USER display is changed, the red
COMPUTER display will also change to show the current connection status of the
new user port. SmartView 4XPro models have 4 user ports and SmartView 2XPro
models have 2 user ports. 
						

							SmartView XProInstallation and UsePage 414.4 COMPUTER display and key switch
The COMPUTER key selects the computer port that is to be connected to the user
port that is currently displayed on the green USER display (see figure 1). Pressing
the key will cause the red COMPUTER display to change to the next available
computer port in numerical sequence. The next available computer port is defined
by the way that the SmartView XPro is configured.
There are two special computer ports that may be selected using the COMPUTER
key switch. These are the on-screen menu port o and the non-existent channel
zero 0. Selecting the on-screen menu port will cause the on-screen menu or the
login menu to be displayed. Selecting channel zero will cause the video to be
disabled and all keyboard and mouse activity to have no effect upon any of the
connected computers. These channels are provided as convenient places to park
user ports that are not currently in operation. 
						

							SmartView XProInstallation and UsePage 424.5 Activity indicators
The SmartView XPro has a front panel activity indicator for each user port (see
figure 1). The indicator will flash when keyboard or mouse data is received by the
SmartView. These indicators provide a useful confirmation that the keyboards and
mice connected to the SmartView are functioning normally.
4.6 Selecting a computer using the front panel controls
To select a computer using the front panel controls, press the USER key until the
green USER display shows the user port number that your keyboard and mouse are
connected to. Then press the COMPUTER key until the red COMPUTER display
shows the computer that you wish to connect to. Pressing the computer key will
cause the computer channel to change to the next available port. If the password
security system has not been enabled then this will be the next highest channel
number in the sequence shown below. If password security has been enabled then
you will only be able to select the computer ports that you have access to. If the front
panel controls have been disabled by the administrator then you will only be able to
select the special channels o and 0 (the on-screen menu / login screen or non-
existent channel zero).

If password security has been set on the system then the following login menu will
appear when the SmartView is switched on or when no user is currently logged in.
The previous user may have activated the screen save function (screen blanking). If
so, you may need to press a key before the login menu appears. Type in you user 
						

							SmartView XProInstallation and UsePage 44name and password to access the SmartView.4.8 Keyboard hotkeys
SmartView XPro can be conveniently controlled using special keyboard hotkey
combinations. These hotkey combinations can be used to select computers and
perform a number of other useful functions. All of the hotkey control commands are
invoked by holding down the hotkeys and then pressing a command key. By default,
the two hotkeys are ‘CTRL’ and ‘ALT’, although other combinations can be selected
by reconfiguring the hotkeys (see section 3.6.3). Once the hotkey command has
been activated you will need to release the hotkeys and the command key before a
new hotkey command is accepted by the SmartView. HOTKEYs + TAB is an
exception and this allows you to tab through the ports by holding down the hotkeys
and repeatedly pressing TAB. HOTKEYs + the cursor keys is also an exception. You
can hold down the hotkeys and repeatedly press the cursor keys to change the
position of the on-screen menu.
The hotkey commands are summarised below (note that the numbers on the
numeric keypad do not form part of a valid hotkey). The hotkeys will only select the
requested channels if you have access rights to the requested channel.
Selecting computers using the hotkeys and the port number is most suitable forsystems with small numbers of computers. For systems with more computers it iseasier to use the on-screen menu for computer selection.

							SmartView XProInstallation and UsePage 474.9 Selecting computers using the mouse
Computers may conveniently be selected using a three button mouse. In order to
switch to the next computer simply hold down the central mouse button (the wheel
mouse button on an IntelliMouse) and click on the left hand mouse button to select
the next computer. If password security has been set then the SmartView will select
the next available channel, otherwise it will select the next numerical channel.
Mouse switching may be enabled or disabled (see section 3.6.7). When mouse
switching is disabled the third button or wheel button state is ‘passed through’ the
SmartView and seen by the application software.
Selecting computers using the mouse is most suitable for systems with smallnumbers of computers. For systems with more computers it is easier to use the on-screen menu for computer selection.Hold down centre button (  )

							SmartView XProInstallation and UsePage 484.10 Selecting computers using the on-screen menu
You can conveniently select computers by name using the SmartViews on-screen
menu. For systems with many computers this is the recommended method of
computer selection. The on-screen menu is called up by pressing the ‘HOTKEYs’
and the ‘M’ key together. Its position on the screen may be moved using the
HOTKEYs and the cursor keys (see section 4.8)
For example, with the default hotkeys (CTRL + ALT) the key combination to launch
the on-screen menu would be:
pressba ba
 M M
release Mba Mba
You may also use a 3-button mouse or wheel mouse to launch the on-screen menu
if you have enabled mouse control (see section 3.6.7). To do this, hold down the
central button or wheel button and click the right hand button.Hold down centre button (  ). Press and release left hand button (  ) to
launch the on-screen menu
When the menu is first called up, a set of default names will be listed. You will
probably want to change these names to suit your computers (see section 3.5).
When you launch the on-screen menu you will see a screen similar to that shown
below. 
						

							SmartView XProInstallation and UsePage 49To connect to a computer, place the menu bar over the computer name using a
combination of the up and down cursor keys and the page up / page down keys.
You may also use the wheel on a wheel mouse to move the menu bar up and down.
If you have enabled mouse control (see section 3.6.7).
