The
button toggles the focus between the left and right video displays (and the host
computers that they are connected to).
The
button illuminates in two halves to represent the left and right video displays.
When the right side of the button is lit, this means that the keyboard and mouse are
connected to the host computer that is linked to the right video display. Pressing a
channel button will cause the new channel to be output to the display that currently has

Channel 1 is applied to the left display; channel 3 is applied to the
right display, as confirmed by their respective left (1) and right (3)
illuminations of the channel buttons. The
button is illuminated
on its right side, meaning that the keyboard and mouse are
currently linked to the host computer on channel 3. Any channel
button pressed at this stage would connect that computer to the
right display as well as the keyboard and mouse.
A single press of the
button will shift the focus to the left

Free-Flow
Adder Free-Flow allows you to automatically switch between host computers simply by
moving the mouse across the edge of the screen. When enabled, keyboard and mouse
focus follows the mouse as it moves across monitor edges. You'll notice that the
button reflects the current cursor position.
Notes:
• When used with dual head displays connected to computers running older versions of
Windows, it may require looping through the displays twice to effect a switch. The problem
may be resolved by installing the MuMo (multi-monitor) driver available from Adder.com
• Upon switching, the operator is advised to check the front panel display to confirm the
currently selected channel.
• The Free-Flow feature is disabled by default and a factory reset will return it to a disabled
state.
This feature requires the mouse to be used in absolute mode so that the switch can
determine its exact position on each video display, rather than the default relative mode.
Note: Older versions of Linux do not support Absolute mode, so cannot be used with Free-Flow.
To enable Free-Flow
• Select absolute mouse mode: Press Left Ctrl then Left Ctrl then F11 then c
To disable Free-Flow
• Select relative mouse mode: Press Left Ctrl then Left Ctrl then F11 then b

computer, simply hold

pointer from the boundary of one screen towards that of the next. The channel should
change as the pointer crosses the boundary. The necessity to hold down the Left Ctrl
key is called Guard Mode and is there to prevent accidental switching. If required, you can
disable guard mode, as discussed on page 16.
