4.2 Mouse mode and mouse switching of channels

Mouse switching is only relevant on the AdderLink Gold product where the user connected to the XR unit requires to switch between the remote computer (1) connected to the XL unit and the local computer (2) connected to the XR unit. This may be done by a keyboard hotkey combination or by using a three button PS/2 mouse or an IntelliMouse.

To switch between the remote (1) and local (2) computers, the user simply holds down the central button or wheel button and presses the left hand button to change channel. To use this feature it must first be enabled using the M2 option. To disable this feature use the M1 option.

If the third button is being used to switch the AdderLink XR then it is not available for use with PC software although the function of an IntelliMouse wheel is not affected. Consequently in M2 mode the AdderLink reports to the PCs that a 2 button mouse is connected. If you wish to use the full function of a 3 button mouse or IntelliMouse for your PC software then you should select the M1 option.
