Note: This procedure works only with three-button or IntelliMouse devices and only if the ‘Mouse Switching’ option has been enabled by your administrator.

1Hold down the middle button (or scroll wheel) of the mouse.

2Click the left mouse button to select the next computer port. When the correct port is reached, release the middle button.

Note: Clicking the left mouse button will select the highlighted port in shared mode (other users can also view the computer). To select the port in

private mode, hold and then click the left mouse button.

Shared Use - press the left mouse button - This standard method allows other users to view the same computer port. Control of the port is given to one user at a time, on a first-come, first-served basis and is relinquished after a certain period of inactivity.

Escape without selecting a port – press the right mouse button.

Show All Users

At any time you can view a list of which users are logged-in and the host computers that they are currently accessing. This can be particularly useful if you find that the host to which you need access is already being viewed in private by another person.

Logging in and out

The AdderView CATxIP 5000 features a straightforward security system that helps to prevent unauthorised access to some, or all connected computers.

If the security option has been selected by your administrator then you will be asked to enter a User Name and Password when you first access a user port. When you have finished using the computer, it is then good practice to logout, forcing any other users to authenticate themselves prior to use.

Note: If the security option has not been enabled then no login is required.

To log in
