will clear all the computer and user names and set all parameters back to the factory
defaults. To avoid activating this function by accident the administrator must confirm
the reset instruction by pressing F8.
4.14 Querying the routing status
It is sometimes useful to know which KVM consoles are connected to which
computers and their connection modes (shared, exclusive or video only). For
example, if the AdderView denies you access to a particular computer you may wish
to know if another KVM console has exclusive use of this computer and
consequently is preventing your access. To query the routing status press F1 from
the main on-screen menu and then select ROUTING STATUS. A routing status
display similar to the one shown below will be displayed for 10 seconds. Press ESC
to quit or wait for the routing status screen to disappear.
4.15 Cascading AdderViews
AdderView MATRIXs can be cascaded in a tree structure to support larger numbers
of computers. Up to four cascade levels are supported and the number of cascade
links between AdderViews can be chosen by the user. The number of installed
cascade links determines the number of users that may be accessing ports on the
cascaded units simultaneously. The full rules that must be followed when configuring
a cascade of AdderViews are given in section 2.5.
Although it is theoretically possible to select computers on cascaded units by
pressing the hotkeys and then typing in the port address this would be highly
confusing for users and is not generally recommended. Consequently it is normally
advisable to use the on-screen menu to select computers on cascaded units.
