. ... . ...... . ... ........... .... .... ... . .... .. ... .... Welcome Introduction The Adder TS4 is a robust keyboard and mouse switch created specifically for trading floors and control rooms, where information must be controlled across numerous systems and screens. The TS4 allows a single keyboard and mouse to fulfil the function that previously required four separate sets. This provides immediate savings in both desk space and also the time required to access information spread across up to four systems and screens. Switching between the systems connected to the Adder TS4 can be achieved in five different ways: • The Adder TS4 unit SELECT button • The optional RC4 Remote control selector • Keyboard hotkey combinations • Mouse button combinations • Automatic switching using the Synchrony utility (see below) Automatic switching between systems When used with Synchrony software, the Adder TS4 allows automatic switching between the connected systems and screens. The switching between the systems is determined primarily by the position of the mouse cursor. As the cursor exceeds the periphery of one screen, control is seamlessly switched to the next screen/system. This operation requires all of the systems to run the Synchrony utility and one of them to be designated as the ‘primary’. Additionally, a serial link is required between the primary system and the Adder TS4. See page 3 for further details: How.does.Synchrony.work? PC1(PRIMARY) PC2unit Serial (RS 3 ) link between switch and primary system TS4 unit The display clearly shows which system is currently connected to the keyboard and mouse. The keyboard and mouse are electronically linked through to the currently selected system. The video displays are connected directly to their respective systems as usual. The keyboard and mouse ports of each system, however, are connected to the TS4 unit. RC4 Remote Single keyboard and mouse are common to all control allows of the systems and are electronically connected the main unit to the required one using any of four switching to be neatly methods. Switching can be initiated from either concealed the keyboard or mouse in addition to the TS4 amongst the unit or optional remote control. cabling. ... . ... . ...... . ... ........... .... .... ... . .... .. ... .... How does Synchrony work? Synchrony is a small software utility that runs on each of your computer systems and continually tracks the current mouse cursor position. One system is designated as the ‘primary’ and the other systems use standard network links to report their mouse cursor information back to it. The primary system has an extra communication link directly to the Adder TS4 switch. When the Synchrony utility detects that the cursor has moved over the edge of a screen boundary, it instructs (via the primary computer) the Adder TS4 to switch the common keyboard and mouse through to the appropriate computer. The Adder TS4 and Synchrony combination minimises any potential security risks in two important ways: • The network messages flowing between the systems contain only benign cursor positioning reports. • All keyboard and real mouse data flow only through the direct keyboard and mouse connections via the Adder TS4, not via the network. The Synchrony utility provides straightforward configuration in which you can defin...
