manual abstract
If a password has been set then ‘P’ will be displayed and the SmartView will remain locked until a valid password is entered. 3.2 Front panel key and remote controller The front panel key is used to select which channel is currently connected to the shared keyboard, mouse and monitor. It is also used to enter configuration mode (see section 2.5). Pressing the key during normal operation will cause the next channel to be selected. For the 2 port SmartView this cycles around ports 1 and 2. For the 4 port SmartView this cycles around ports 1, 2, 3 and 4. An optional remote controller is also available which replicates the front panel button and display, but can be located remotely from the SmartView. This is particularly useful in applications where the SmartView is located away from the desktop. The remote controller can be conveniently attached to your keyboard with a couple of Velcro strips to give instant channel information and key control. 3.3 Status display The status display usually shows the currently selected port. If autoscan mode is selected, the segments will illuminate in sequence in a clockwise direction interspersed with a display of the currently selected channel. If SmartView has been locked, ‘P’ will be displayed until a valid password has been typed to unlock the unit. Data flow from the mouse or keyboard causes the dot to flash.

All of the hotkey control commands are invoked by holding down the two hotkeys and then pressing a command key. By default, the two hotkeys are ‘CTRL’ and ‘ALT’, although other combinations can be selected by reconfiguring the hotkeys (see section 4.5). Once the hotkey command has been activated you will need to release the hotkeys and the command key before a new hotkey command is accepted by the SmartView. HOTKEYs + TAB is an exception and this allows you to 'tab through' the ports by holding down the hotkeys and repeatedly pressing TAB. If the SmartView has been set to cycle between active channels (see section 4.9) then only the active channels will be selected. Otherwise the SmartView will cycle through all channels when using HOTKEYs + TAB. The hotkey command are summarised below (note that the numbers on the numeric keypad do not form part of a valid hotkey) : ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘1’ - selects channel 1 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘2’ - selects channel 2 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘3’ - selects channel 3 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘4’ - selects channel 4 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘TAB’ - selects the next active channel if the SmartView has been set to scan active ports (see section 4.9). Selects the next numbered channel in sequence if the SmartView is set to scan all ports. ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘A’ - selects autoscan mode where each channel is displayed for the selected time (see section 4.3). To cancel autoscan mode simply select any fixed channel either by hotkey or using the SmartView button. ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘0’ – switches off the video signal and displays 0. This will cause some monitors to go into standby mode or switch off. The video signal can be re- enabled by selecting a channel. ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘L’ - disables the SmartView's shared keyboard and mouse and displays 0. The video signal is switched off. If a password has not been set then the SmartView can be re-enabled by selecting a channel. If a password has been set then the SmartView displays 'P' to indicate that a valid password must be entered to unlock the switch. Simply type the same key combination as was set during configuration (see section 4.8) followed by the (enter) key. Note - if anyone has typed at the keyboard whilst in secure mode, it will be necessary to type (enter) first to clear the invalid password, then type the valid password followed by (enter) again. Examples of common hotkey sequences (assuming CTRL + ALT hotkey option): To select channel 2: press ba baba2 22 release 2ba SmartView Installation and Use Page 18 To 'tab through' channels: press ba babav vvrelease vpress v vv release vpress v vvrelease vba 3.5 Mouse control The channels can conveniently be changed on ADDERview by using a three button mouse. In order to switch to the next channel simply hold down the central mouse button (the wheel mouse button on an IntelliMouse) and click on the left hand mouse button. The channel will then change. If the SmartView has been set to scan active ports then the next active channel will be selected. If it has been set to scan all ports then the next numerical channel in sequence will be selected (see section 4.9 for more details) Mouse switching may be enabled or disabled by setting options during configuration (see section 4.4). When mouse switching is disabled the third button or wheel button state is ‘passed through’ the SmartView and seen by the application software. 3.6 RS232 control SmartView can be conveniently controlled b...
