3.9 Microphone support on the AdderLink Gold
You may connect a microphone to both the AdderLink Gold XL unit and the AdderLink Gold XR unit. The computer attached to the XL unit will take its microphone input from the last active user port. So, if the keyboard and mouse on the XR unit were last used to control the computer then the microphone signal will be taken from the XR unit. Alternatively if the keyboard and mouse connected to the XL unit were the last to control the computer then the microphone signal will come from the microphone attached to the XL unit.
If the local computer (2) is selected on the XR unit then, as expected, its microphone signal will be taken from the microphone attached to the XR unit.
The AdderLink transfers the audio microphone signals between the XR and XL units by multiplexing the audio signals onto the video signals. A degree of audio noise is introduced by this process. The effect of this noise may be reduced by setting the microphone audio input volume on the PC connected to the XL unit to the lowest practical setting.
3.10 Setting and using the security password
There are many situations where unrestricted access to computers or sensitive information needs to be controlled. In such circumstances, the AdderLink XL unit may be locked away in a room or secure cabinet and the computer may be controlled remotely from the XR unit.
The AdderLink incorporates a security password system that enables the XR unit to be locked so that the secure computer cannot be controlled. Once a password has been set the AdderLink XR unit may be disabled by pressing the hotkeys together with the L (lock) key. The XR unit may only then be unlocked by entering the password. For example if the hotkeys are set to CTRL and ALT then pressing the following key combination would cause the AdderLink XR unit to lock.
