2.3 Connecting your devices
Ensure that the power is disconnected from the AdderView and all devices which are to be attached. Connect any keyboards, monitors and mice to the user port connectors at the rear of the AdderView (see figure 2). The individual connectors are colour coded for your convenience. If you are connecting several KVM (Keyboard, Video monitor, Mouse) sets then you do not need to use the same brands or mix of devices on each user port.
Next, connect each computer system unit in turn using the Adder interface cables that you have purchased for use with the AdderView MATRIX MP (see Appendix A for cable specifications and part codes). These are colour coded and should connect directly to the various ports on your computers. Remember that the video quality is maximised if the cables are kept as short as possible. Where possible, 2 metre cables are recommended as these will give very high video quality. Any unused computer connections can be left unconnected. The three main cables type are shown in figure 3.
