To select a computer using mouse buttons
Note: This procedure works only with three-button or IntelliMouse devices and
only if the 'Mouse Switching' option has been enabled by your administrator.
1 Hold down the middle button (or scroll wheel) of the mouse.
2 Click the left mouse button to select the next computer port. When the
correct port is reached, release the middle button.
Note: If security has been enabled then only computers to which you have
permission will be displayed.
To select a computer using mouse buttons – Advanced method
1 Select the on-screen menu by pressing the middle and right buttons of a
three button mouse.
2 Use the scroll wheel to highlight the required computer port.
3 Then, select either:
• Shared Use - press the left mouse button - This standard method allows
other users to view the same computer port. Control of the port is
given to one user at a time, on a first-come, first-served basis and is
relinquished after a certain period of inactivity.
• Escape without selecting a port – press the right mouse button.
User arbitration - simultaneous local and remote users
During operation, if both the local and remote user consoles are both connected
and being used, the connected video monitors will both continuously receive the
output from the selected host system. Control of the selected host system (and
switching operations) is arbitrated by the AdderView CATx 1000 on a first come,
first served basis. In the idle state, control is available to both users and their
keyboard indicators both show the current Num Lock, etc. conditions of the host
system.
At the moment that a key is
pressed or a mouse is moved,
the keyboard and mouse of
the other user are temporarily
locked-out (the video images
remain). The keyboard
indicators of the locked-out
user then begin to flash to
confirm their status
After a period of inactivity
(determined by the User
Timeout option in Global Preferences) from the user currently in control, the
modules return to their idle condition and re-instate the keyboard indicators of
the locked-out user.
