being recognised by the computers when they are switched on.
2.4‘Interface powered’ operation without the optional power adapter
The AdderView DVI draws its power from the connected computers via the keyboard cables. A single keyboard connection is normally sufficient to power the AdderView DVI provided that the cable is no longer than 5 metres. If more than one computer is connected then the power will be intelligently drawn from all computers. Cables longer than 5 metres may be used provided that the AdderView DVI is already powered by another connected computer or the optional power adapter. If you are cascading the AdderView DVI to another AdderView DVI then a power adapter must be connected to all AdderView DVIs.
2.5 Configuring your PCs
Configure your PC in the same way that you would if your keyboard, mouse and monitor were all connected directly to your PC. AdderView DVI emulates Microsoft compatible serial, IntelliMouse, IntelliMouse Explorer and PS/2 mice, so ensure that your PC software is configured for a Microsoft mouse of the correct type. Refer to the list of supported drivers in section 2.1.
