‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘L’ - Disconnects the AdderLink XR’s keyboard and mouse from the computer that they are controlling and switches off all the red status lights. The video signal is switched off. If a password has not been set then the AdderLink can be re-enabled by selecting a computer using ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘TAB’ or ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘1’ (or ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘2’ on the AdderLink Gold). If a password has been set then the AdderLink will alternately flash the NUM and SCROLL and then the CAPS lock lights on the keyboard connected to the XR unit. This indicates that a valid password must be entered to unlock the AdderLink. Simply type the same key combination as was set during configuration (see section 3.10) followed by the RETURN key. Note - if anyone has typed at the keyboard whilst in secure mode, it will be necessary to type RETURN first to clear the invalid password, then type the valid password followed by RETURN again.

‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘1’ - selects the remote computer attached to the XL unit ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘2’ - selects the local computer attached to the XR unit (AdderLink Gold only)

‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘TAB’ – Selects the next computer (remote or local)

‘HOTKEYs’ and RETURN – Enters video compensation / configuration mode
