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 ASmartView XPro Page2.5 Structuring your SmartView XPro installation 2.4 Configuring your PCsInstallation and Use SmartView XProInstallation and Use When cascading SmartView XPros keep in mind the following rulesSmartView XPro PageInstallation and Use The following diagrams show some typical SmartView XPro installationsSmartView XPro PageInstallation and Use Fig. 5 - A typical installation using a single SmartView XProSmartView XPro PageInstallation and Use Fig. 6 - A cascaded application using multiple SmartView XProsSmartView XPro PageInstallation and Use 2.6 Maximising the video qualitySmartView XPro Page2.8 Re-enabling a disconnected PS/2 mouse 2.7 Other useful installation informationInstallation and Use SmartView XProInstallation and Use SmartView XProPage Type of mouse / system Connected at bootupDriver type Likely expected3.1 Configuration summary 3.

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 computers Creating entries for computers connected to cascaded SmartViewsInstallation and Use SmartView XProconnected to cascaded SmartViews Fig. 7 - Creating menu entries for computers that areInstallation and Use SmartView XProFig. 8 - Possible cascade groups and their associated names 3.6 Setting the SETUP OPTIONS and GLOBAL PREFERENCESInstallation and Use SmartView XPro3.6.2 LANGUAGE 3.6.1 SECURITY3.6.3 HOTKEYS Installation and Use3.6.5 EXCLUSIVE USE 3.6.4 KEYPAD CONTROLSInstallation and Use SmartView XPro3.6.8 AUTOSCAN MODE 3.6.6 MOUSE SWITCHING3.6.7 SCREEN SAVER Installation and Use3.6.9 AUTOSCAN TIME 3.6.11 USER TIMEOUT3.6.10 OSD DWELL TIME Installation and UseInstallation and Use 3.6.12 RS232 Mouse TypeSmartView XPro Page4.1 Rear panel special function switches 4.

Upgrading the SmartViews firmwareInstallation and Use SmartView XProStep 5 - Power on the SmartView with the UPGRADE switch ON Step 4 - Power off the SmartView XProStep 2 - Connect your computer to the SmartView XPro Installation and UseSVXPRO.EXE Step 6 - Run the upgrade programe.g.4X16A129.HEX 4X16B129.HEX 4X16C129.HEX e.g.4X16V129.DATSVXPRO 4X16V129.DAT SVXPRO Datfilename.DATInstallation and Use SmartView XProThe 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 upgrade Some useful issues to bear in mind when performing flash upgradesInstallation and Use SmartView XProCable specification Appendix A.
