The computer channel can be switched using a three button mouse or IntelliMouse. Pressing the central button or wheel button together with the left hand mouse button will cause the AdderView CATxIP 5000 to switch to the next available computer.

When mouse switching is enabled, you can still use the middle button on its own to control applications. Only when its pressed with the left or right button is it interpreted by mouse switching, otherwise it is passed on to the host application. The rotation action of an IntelliMouse wheel is not affected and is always available to the computer application.

Screen Saver

Settings: Disabled; 2, 5, 10,15 or 20 Minutes

The AdderView CATxIP 5000 can be set to blank the screen after no keyboard or mouse activity has been detected for a selected timeout period. If preferred, the user can blank the screen manually by selecting channel ‘0’ using the keyboard hotkeys or by pressing ESC from the login screen.

After a successful computer channel change the AdderView CATxIP 5000 will display a confirmation message for a few seconds. The length of time that this confirmation message dwells on the screen may be changed.

User Timeout

Settings: 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 Seconds, 1, 5, 10 Minutes

When no keyboard or mouse data has been received from an active user port for the user timeout period, the AdderView CATxIP 5000 will relinquish the control of that user port in order to allow other users to access the host computer. The new port then becomes the active port until it too times out. To avoid confusion between users it is desirable to set the timeout period to be sufficiently long so that user’s work is not needlessly interrupted by other users and sufficiently short to ensure good overall system efficiency.
