Step 6 - Run the upgrade program

The latest version of the SmartView XPro firmware is available from the Adder Technology website at www.addertec.com. The upgrade files will be supplied to you as a group and consist of several files as explained below. These files should be downloaded to the same directory on your computer.

1)A universal upgrade program

SVXPRO.EXE

2)Binary code files for each of the processors within the SmartView (up to 3)

e.g.4X16A129.HEX 4X16B129.HEX 4X16C129.HEX

These files use the following naming scheme. The first three characters are the model type (e.g. 4X16 is a SmartView 4XPro with 16 computer ports). The forth character is the processor designation. The last three character represent the firmware release version (e.g. 129 equals version 1.29).

3)A data file that tells the upgrade program (SVXPRO.EXE) which binary code files (HEX files) to download to the SmartView XPro and where to put each file. Theoretically this DAT file can be modified so that only certain processors are upgraded but do not do this unless specifically instructed by Adder technical support.

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 XPro3.6.7 SCREEN SAVER 3.6.6 MOUSE SWITCHING3.6.8 AUTOSCAN MODE 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.

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.
