4.16 Resetting user port keyboards and mice

The SmartView gives you the facility to perform a complete power off reset of the keyboard and mouse that are connected to a selected user port. This can be useful if you wish to disconnect the keyboard or mouse and replace them with alternatives. Keyboards will enable themselves automatically if they are disconnected and then re-connected to the SmartView. Mice will not normally re-enable themselves after they have been disconnected and re-connected although they will do so automatically if the SmartView's channel has been changed whilst the mouse is disconnected.

Consequently you will normally need to perform a power-off reset of the user port if you have disconnected and re-connected a mouse. The power off reset function only affects the selected user port and does not affect any of the computer connections or any of the other user ports.

To perform a power-off reset for a selected user port:

1)Press the USER key on the front panel of the SmartView to select the user port whose keyboard and mouse you wish to reset.

2)The selected user port number should now be shown on the green USER display.

3)Press and hold down the USER key for 5 seconds until the green USER display goes off. The keyboard and mouse will then be powered off.

4)As soon as the green display goes off you may release the USER key. The green display will then come back on and a few seconds later the keyboard and mouse will be powered on and ready for use.

4.17 Using the AdderLink extender

Refer to the installation guide provided with your AdderLink extender. The transmitter unit (AdderLink XL) is built into the SmartView XPro so you will only need the receiver (AdderLink XR unit). You may use an AdderLink XR receiver or an AdderLink Gold XR receiver.

When using an AdderLink extender we highly recommend that you set the AdderLink's hotkeys to be different to the SmartView's hotkeys to avoid any confusion
