To connect computers with serial mouse connections and AT style keyboard connections use the adapters specified in appendix A. If you have an existing 6-pin mini-DIN to 9-pin serial adapter that came with a mouse it may not be suitable for use with the SmartView as the are several different standard wiring configurations for these adapters. Suitable serial adapters are supplied in Adders AT cable kits part codes VKVM-2M-AT, VKVM- 5M-AT and VKVM-10M-AT - see appendix A Installation and UseSmartView XPro Page2.4 Configuring your PCs 2.5 Structuring your SmartView XPro installationInstallation and Use SmartView XProWhen cascading SmartView XPros keep in mind the following rules Installation and UseSmartView XPro PageThe following diagrams show some typical SmartView XPro installations Installation and UseSmartView XPro PageFig. 5 - A typical installation using a single SmartView XPro Installation and UseSmartView XPro PageFig. 6 - A cascaded application using multiple SmartView XPros Installation and UseSmartView XPro Page2.6 Maximising the video quality Installation and UseSmartView XPro Page2.7 Other useful installation information 2.8 Re-enabling a disconnected PS/2 mouseInstallation and Use SmartView XProPage Installation and UseSmartView XPro Connected at bootup Type of mouse / systemDriver type Likely expected3.

Section 2.5 explains the rules that you must follow when installing a SmartView cascade. The number of cascade links that you install determines the number of simultaneous users that can access computers on the cascaded SmartViews. Ideally if you are cascading 4XPro units then you should use four cascade links as this will cause no blocking and will allow all four users simultaneous access to all computersInstallation and Use SmartView XProFig. 7 - Creating menu entries for computers that are connected to cascaded SmartViewsInstallation and Use SmartView XPro3.6 Setting the SETUP OPTIONS and GLOBAL PREFERENCES Fig. 8 - Possible cascade groups and their associated namesInstallation and Use SmartView XPro3.6.1 SECURITY 3.6.2 LANGUAGE3.6.3 HOTKEYS Installation and Use3.6.4 KEYPAD CONTROLS 3.6.5 EXCLUSIVE USEInstallation and Use SmartView XPro3.6.6 MOUSE SWITCHING 3.6.8 AUTOSCAN MODE3.6.7 SCREEN SAVER Installation and Use3.6.11 USER TIMEOUT 3.6.9 AUTOSCAN TIME3.6.10 OSD DWELL TIME Installation and Use3.6.12 RS232 Mouse Type Installation and UseSmartView XPro Page4.

Upgrading the SmartViews firmware Step 1 - Prepare your computersInstallation and Use SmartView XProStep 4 - Power off the SmartView XPro Step 5 - Power on the SmartView with the UPGRADE switch ONStep 2 - Connect your computer to the SmartView XPro Installation and UseStep 6 - Run the upgrade program SVXPRO.EXEe.g.4X16A129.HEX 4X16B129.HEX 4X16C129.HEX e.g.4X16V129.DATSVXPRO Datfilename.DAT SVXPRO 4X16V129.DATInstallation and Use SmartView XProSome useful issues to bear in mind when performing flash upgrades The upgrade program rewrites the SmartViews firmware code. If the upgrade process is interrupted then the SmartView will have invalid code and will not be able to operate. It is therefore good practice to ensure that the upgrade process is always fully completed. A partial or failed upgrade may be rectified by performing another upgrade. If the upgrade process is interrupted accidentally then you should immediately repeat the upgrade process without moving switch 2 from the upgrade ON position. Switch 2 forces the SmartView into flash upgrade mode and prevents the upgraded code from being run. Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable results and may damage your SmartView or computing equipment. For obvious reasons, the code that the SmartView uses to perform upgrades is not itself upgradeable - a common problem on some flash upgradeable products that could effectively be destroyed by a partial upgradeInstallation and Use SmartView XProAppendix A.
