2.4 Configuring your PCs
Configure your PC in the same way that you would if your keyboard, mouse and
monitor were all connected directly to your PC, but bearing in mind the following
point:
AdderView emulates Microsoft compatible serial, IntelliMouse and PS/2 mice, so
ensure that your PC software is configured for a Microsoft mouse of the correct type.
Refer to the list of supported drivers in section 2.1.
2.5 Structuring your AdderView MATRIX installation
A single AdderView MATRIX 216 may be used to manage and control up to 16
computers (see figure 3). For larger numbers of computers, MATRIX units may be
cascaded in a tree structure to form a video switching network (see figure 4). The
AdderView unit at the top of this tree structure is normally used to control all the
cascaded AdderViews although other configurations are possible.
The AdderView MATRIX is fitted with an intelligent communication system that
enables it to detect and communicate with other AdderViews so that it is able to
positively verify that all the cascaded AdderViews have correctly responded to a
switching request from the user. The AdderViews communicate with each other via
the keyboard cables.
AdderView MATRIX may be cascaded in a very flexible manner. Either 1 or 2 links
may be made between cascaded AdderViews. The number of independent users
supported by the system is determined by the number of cascade links that have
been installed. If two cascade links are made then two users have simultaneous
access to ports on the cascaded AdderViews. The AdderView intelligently manages
the cascade links and allocates them on a first come first served basis rather like a
telephone network.
AdderView MATRIX may also be cascaded to single user AdderView OSD products
with the restriction that the AdderView OSD units must be on the last layer of the
tree and that no further units are cascaded off these.
