Using configuration options

Configuration mode allows you to alter key aspects of AdderView Prism
operation. Within configuration mode you can use any connected keyboard to
enter specific key combinations to bring about the required change in operation.
Configuration mode is instigated by changing switch 6 to its ON position,
the required configuration option is then selected by entering a particular
combination of letter and number.
To use configuration options (a quick summary):
1 Enter configuration mode (click switch 6 down into its ON position).
All of the AdderView Prism front panel indicators will light as well as all
three of the keyboard indicators ('Num Lock', 'Caps Lock' and 'Scroll
Lock'). Your AdderView Prism is now ready to accept new configuration
options.
2 Type the letter of the required option, (e.g. H).
On your keyboard, the 'Scroll Lock' indicator will darken, leaving
the 'Num Lock' and 'Caps Lock' indicators lit – this indicates that a
configuration option number is now required.
3 Type the number of the required option, (e.g. 3).
On your keyboard, the 'Caps Lock' indicator will darken, leaving only
the 'Num Lock' indicator lit – this indicates that you need to confirm the
configuration option that you just typed.
4 Press .
All three of the keyboard indicators will re-light.
5 Enter another option or exit from configuration mode (return switch 6 to its
OFF position).
All indicators will return to their original conditions.

Hotkey combinations

Hotkeys signal to the AdderView Prism that you wish to talk to it (using the
keyboard) rather than the computer. However, you may find that the standard
hotkeys interfere with other devices or software. In such cases, you can change
the hotkeys to a different combination of two keys. These configuration options
allow you to determine which keyboard keys are used as the hotkeys. See
plugging and mouse restoration
mouse operation.
H1 Hotkey combination is LEFT ALT + RIGHT ALT + command key (default
setting).
H2 Hotkey combination is CTRL + SHIFT + command key.
H3 Hotkey combination is ALT + SHIFT + command key.
H4 Hotkey combination is RIGHT ALT + command key.
H5 Hotkey combination is CTRL + ALT + command key.
H6 Hotkey combination is LEFT CTRL + LEFT ALT + command key.
H7 Hotkey combination is RIGHT CTRL + RIGHT ALT + command key.

Mouse speed timing adjustment

These configuration options allow you to overcome a rare timing problem
caused by certain mouse, computer and switch combinations. The problem
can occur when the mouse driver software and computer are over-sensitive to
timing changes within the information from the mouse. Adding a switch, such
as the AdderView Prism, can cause slight timing changes that result in the on-
screen mouse pointer responding very slowly. Choosing the L6 option helps to
counteract the rare problem that is known to occur in combinations such as an
HP Vectra running later versions of Windows NT, using a Logitech mouse driver
and a Logitech mouse.
L5 Do not adjust mouse speed timings (default setting).
L6 Adjust mouse speed timings to solve response problems.

Miscellaneous functions

Note: These functions use the letter 'F'. As with all of the other configuration
options, press the letter and then the number, i.e. F and then 1 – not the 'F1'
function key.
F1 Declare the AdderView Prism firmware version. When selected, the
version number will be sent to the currently selected computer – ensure
that a suitable application is running (such as a notepad or word
processor) so that the version number may be displayed on screen.
F8 RESET all configuration options to the default settings.
