To select a computer using mouse buttons – Advanced method

2Use the scroll wheel to highlight the required computer port.

3Then, select either:

•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.

User arbitration - simultaneous local and remote users

During operation, if both the local and remote user consoles are both connected and being used, the connected video monitors will both continuously receive the output from the selected host system. Control of the selected host system (and switching operations) is arbitrated by the AdderView CATx 1000 on a first come, first served basis. In the idle state, control is available to both users and their keyboard indicators both show the current Num Lock, etc. conditions of the host system.

At the moment that a key is

pressed or a mouse is moved, the keyboard and mouse of the other user are temporarily locked-out (the video images

remain). The keyboard

indicators of the locked-out user then begin to flash to confirm their status ð

After a period of inactivity (determined by the User

Timeout option in Global Preferences) from the user currently in control, the modules return to their idle condition and re-instate the keyboard indicators of the locked-out user.
