the SmartView's keyboard and mouse reset function (see section 4.16). This function only resets the keyboard and mouse attached to the selected user port. It does not affect the status of any of the SmartView's other ports or the CPU connections.

2.9Hot plugging the SmartView into running systems and re- enabling disconnected CPU PS/2 mouse connections

It is adviseable to switch off the systems that are going to be connected to the SmartView before installation. However if this is not possible then most systems can be hot plugged by using the SmartView’s mouse restoration functions. The keyboard connection will normally restore itself automatically.

On many PCs, mouse movement will be lost if the PS/2 mouse is unplugged and plugged back in whilst the PC is running. Mouse movement can then only be restored by rebooting the PC. This is because the mouse drivers only setup and enable the mouse when the PC is initially booted.

If you have switched off your SmartView or you are attempting to ‘hot plug’ it into a system that is already running, you may be able to restore lost mouse movement using the SmartView's mouse restoration functions.

Mouse restoration functions should be used with care as unpredictable results may occur if the wrong mouse type is selected. If in doubt restore the mouse by powering down the PC normally.

Standard PS/2 mouse data uses a different data format to IntelliMouse data and so two reset functions are provided on the SmartView. The type of data format expected by the PC depends upon the driver and the type of mouse that was connected when the driver was booted. The following table may be used as a guide. Note that the mouse reset functions predict the likely mouse resolution settings but may not restore the speed or sensitivity of the mouse exactly as they were when the PC originally booted.
