Adder Technology GEMAV4GEM, GEMAV2GEM manual Configuring your PCs, Configuring the AdderView GEM

2.4‘Interface powered’ operation without the optional power adapter

The AdderView GEM draws its power from the connected computers via the keyboard cables. A single keyboard connection is normally sufficient to power the AdderView GEM provided that the cable is no longer than 5 metres. If more than one computer is connected then the power will be intelligently drawn from all computers. Cables longer than 5 metres may be used provided that the AdderView GEM is already powered by another connected computer or the optional power adapter. If you are cascading the AdderView GEM to another AdderView GEM then a power adapter must be connected to all AdderView GEMs.

2.5 Configuring your PCs

Configure your PC in the same way that you would if your keyboard, mouse and monitor were all connected directly to your PC. AdderView GEM emulates Microsoft compatible serial, IntelliMouse, IntelliMouse Explorer and PS/2 mice, so ensure that your PC software is configured for a Microsoft mouse of the correct type. Refer to the list of supported drivers in section 2.1.

2.6 Configuring the AdderView GEM

The AdderView GEM is supplied pre-configured with factory defaults which are suitable for most applications. There are a number of more advanced options which can be set by the user. These are stored in the AdderView GEM's EEPROM memory and are retained when the power is disconnected.

The options may be changed whilst the AdderView GEM is in configure mode. You may enter configure mode at initial power on or whilst the AdderView GEM is running:
