Global Preferences
Global preferences are available only to the Admin user and allow settings to be
made that aect all users attached to the AdderView CATx 1000.
Mouse Switching
Settings: ENABLED, DISABLED
The computer channel can be switched using a three button mouse. Pressing
the central button together with the left hand mouse button will cause the
AdderView CATx 1000 to switch to the next available computer. When mouse
switching is enabled the central mouse button is allocated to control the
AdderView CATx 1000 and is not therefore available for use by computer
applications. If you want to use the central mouse button within your
applications you will need to disable mouse switching.
Screen Saver
Settings: DISABLED; 2, 5, 7, 10,15, 20 & 30 MINUTES
To avoid burning out the phosphor on CRT monitor screens, the AdderView
CATx 1000 can be set to blank the screen after no keyboard or mouse activity
has been detected for a selected timeout period. If preferred, the user can blank
the screen manually by selecting channel ‘0’ using the keyboard hotkeys or by
pressing ESC from the login screen.
Autoscan Mode
Settings: SCAN LIST, ACTIVE PCs, ALL PCs
The AdderView CATx 1000 supports an autoscan mode that automatically scans
between the connected computers in sequence. There are three autoscan
modes. In the rst mode the AdderView CATx 1000 will scan all the named
computers that are dened in the autoscan list (SCAN LIST). The computers
dened in the scan list may be connected to cascaded AdderView CATx 1000
units. If you wish to scan the ports on the current AdderView CATx 1000 then
you may select ALL the available computers or just the available computers
that are currently powered on (the ACTIVE computers). Scanning just the active
computers avoids blank screens from being displayed and stops the monitor
from going into a power down state on every scan cycle.
WARNING - Many modern monitors are tted with automatic power save relays
and will switch o after a few seconds if connected to an inactive PC. If you
are using such a monitor you must not set the AdderView CATx 1000 to scan
ALL ports. Constant switching on and o of your monitor’s relay will eventually
damage your monitor. If you are using the SCAN LIST option then you should
ensure that all the computers are active if you are using one of these monitors.
If you choose to use the SCAN LIST option then you may dene the computers
to be scanned in the following manner.
To dene the autoscan list
Note: Ensure that you are logged in as the ADMIN user.
1 From the main on-screen menu press F1 for MORE MENUS.
2 Select EDIT AUTOSCAN LIST from the menu. A list of dened computers
will appear. Computers axed with a ‘+’ will be autoscanned during the
autoscan cycle. To add/remove a computer to/from the autoscan list, move
the selection bar over the computer name and press SPACE BAR. To add all
named computers press F1. To remove all named computers press F2.
3 When all the computers that you wish to scan are axed with a ‘+’, press
RETURN or ENTER to save the selections. The selected computers will be
autoscanned in alphabetical order when you activate autoscan mode
(when the SCAN LIST option is selected).
Autoscan Period
Settings: DISABLED; 2, 5, 7, 15, 30 SECONDS, 1, 5 MINUTES
The autoscan time denes the length of time that the AdderView CATx 1000
will display video (and play audio) from an autoscanned computer before
changing to the next computer. If the DISABLED setting is chosen then no
autoscan functions will be available.
