Recognising an IntelliMouse driver

Before hot plugging your Extender C5 (or afterwards using only keyboard control), access the Windows Control Panel and select either the Mouse option (on Windows NT, 2000 and XP) or the System option (on Windows 95, 98, ME). Look for the name of the driver, which will usually include the words PS/2 or IntelliMouse.

To restore mouse operation when hot plugging:

1Carefully connect the Extender C5 modules to the system and its keyboard, mouse, monitor, audio and serial device.

2Simultaneously, press the hotkeys (by default CTRL> and <SHIFT>) along with <RETURN> to enter configuration mode.

3Enter the appropriate restore function code:

PS/2 – press <M> <6> <RETURN>

IntelliMouse – press <M> <7> <RETURN>

4To exit configuration mode, press <RETURN>.

5Move the mouse a short distance and check for appropriate onscreen cursor movement. If the mouse cursor darts erratically around the screen, then cease moving the mouse. This is an indication that the chosen restore function is incorrect. Try again using the other restore function.

Note: The restore functions predict the likely mouse resolution settings but may not restore the exact speed or sensitivity settings that were originally set.

Microsoft and Logitech – specific mouse settings

In certain installations some Logitech mouse drivers may lose the action of the mouse buttons when used with the standard ‘Microsoft compatible’ signalling protocol used between the modules. To solve this problem, select the ‘Logitech compatible’ mouse signalling protocol.

To change mouse signalling protocols

1Simultaneously, press the hotkeys (by default, <CTRL> and <SHIFT> along with <RETURN> to enter configuration mode.

2Enter the appropriate protocol code:

Microsoft compatible – press <M> <3> <RETURN>

Logitech compatible – press <M> <4> <RETURN>

3To exit configuration mode, press <RETURN>
