4.17 Using the AdderLink extender
Refer to the installation guide provided with your AdderLink extender.
When using an AdderLink extender we highly recommend that you set the
AdderLink's hotkeys to be different to the AdderView's hotkeys to avoid any
confusion
4.18 What to do if you forget your ADMIN password
If you forget your ADMIN account password you will not be able to access the
AdderView MATRIX MP to add or edit users and computer names. If this
unfortunate situation does occur then you can resolve it by performing a complete
reset to return the AdderView to its factory default state. A complete reset erases all
the user names and computer names that you have setup. You can only perform a
complete reset if you have access to both the front and the rear of the AdderView.
To perform a complete reset and return the AdderView to its factory default state:
1) Power on the AdderView normally.
2) Whilst the AdderView is powered on move switch 2 on the rear panel of the
AdderView (labelled UPGRADE) to the ON (down) position.
3) Press the USER and the COMPUTER keys together.
4) The green USER display will show 'r' for a few seconds to confirm that a reset is
taking place.
5) Return switch 2 to the normal OFF position (up).
4.19 Saving and restoring the menu configuration to and from an
Excel compatible file.
The AdderView MATRIX MP will store up to 512 computer names and 16 sets of
user access rights. If you have a cascade of AdderViews then it may take some time
to enter all the computer names and port numbers and decide on the access rights
that you are going to grant to each user profile. Consequently, for peace of mind it is
useful to be able to store these settings. This can be done by connecting a computer
to the AdderView's RS232 serial port and uploading to configuration settings. You
can only perform this function if you are logged onto the AdderView as the
AdderView MATRIX MP
