2.8 Resetting the AdderView DVI without disconnecting your devices

The AdderView DVI draws its power from the connected computers and therefore may only be fully powered down when all the connected computers have been switched off or disconnected. However, the AdderView DVI may be reset without disconnecting or powering down your computers by using the reset switch on the underside of the unit. Performing a reset using this switch performs a complete hardware reset on the AdderView DVI and is equivalent to switching off the power. To perform a hardware reset, move option switch 8 to the ON position (halt and reset) and then back to the OFF position (normal operation).

2.9 Other useful installation information

PC boot up sequence - When your PCs are powered on they communicate with any attached keyboards and mice and setup parameters required by the particular operating system. It is necessary for the AdderView DVI to be attached and powered on during this sequence so that it can give the required responses and keep track of all the modes and settings requested by each of the connected PCs.

Mouse characteristics - do not unplug a PS/2 mouse connection from a PC whilst the PC is on. Due to the design of PS/2 mice communications the mouse function on the PC will be lost and you will have to re-boot the PC to regain normal operation. Unplugging the mouse from the AdderView DVI will also cause it to stop operating when it is plugged back in. RS232 mice can usually be unplugged and plugged back in provided that a mouse was connected when the operating system initially booted. The AdderView DVI is fitted with a PS/2 mouse recovery system which allows you to disconnect and re-connect the shared mouse without powering down the system (although this is generally not advisable) - see section 2.10 for details.
