SPECIAL MOUSE CONSIDERATIONS

NOTE
If the VOPEX is power-cycled with the CPU ON, the mouse driver must be reloaded for mice to function properly.
:
1. Hot plugging limitations
A. Any mouse to be emulated must be connected to "MOUSE1" at VOPEX power-up. e.g. If at a later time the user wants
to hot-plug 3-button mice, a 3-button mouse must have been connected to "MOUSE1" at VOPEX power-up.
B. If no mice were connected at power-up, VOPEX will default to standard 2-button mode.
2. ALPS Glidepoint
A. For "taps" function to work properly, ALPS Glidepoint must be connected to "MOUSE1" at power-up and ALPS Mouse
Driver must be used.
B. Some Microsoft mice may conflict with ALPS Glidepoint. If a problem occurs, connect ALPS to "MOUSE1"
and use a regular Microsoft mouse driver. NOTE: "taps" will not function in this configuration.
3. Microsoft Ballpoint
A. Do not connect Ballpoint to "MOUSE1" if other types of mice are to be used in the VOPEX. If Ballpoint is connected to
"MOUSE1", all other mice must also be Ballpoints.
B. At least one Ballpoint must be connected to VOPEX when powering up in order for hot-plugging to work for other
Ballpoints.
4. 3-button Mice
A. A 3-button mouse must be connected to "MOUSE1" for any mice to work as 3-button.
5. Microsoft IntelliMouse
A. All mice connected to VOPEX must be IntelliMouse to be able to use the IntelliMouse.
B. The IntelliMouse cannot be hot-plugged.

POWER-UP SEQUENCE

NOTE: Any cable longer than 100 feet for the keyboard requires an AC adapter. If using a COMPAQ keyboard, the
adapter and the VOPEX must be powered up at the same time!
1. Turn ON power to the VOPEX.
2. Turn ON power to the monitor(s).
NOTE: The monitor(s) MUST be turned ON before the CPU.
3. Turn ON power to the CPU.
Keyboards and mice are powered by the VOPEX.

POWER-DOWN SEQUENCE

1. Turn OFF power to the CPU.
2. Turn OFF power to the VOPEX.

DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION

At power up, the VOPEX uses the "User x" LEDs on the front panel to report some status. The sequence of events is as follows:
1. When unit is first powered, the LED state is indeterminate.
2. All LEDs are turned OFF, then flashed ON and OFF to indicate processor activity.
3. One LED for each keyboard detected is flashed ON and OFF.
4. One LED for each mouse detected is flashed ON and OFF.
5. The LEDs are left in the proper mode status (see "MODES OF OPERATION" on page 4).
