Installation and Use
Any unused computer connections can be left unconnected. 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

You can cascade SmartView 4XPro units using one, two, three or four KVM links and SmartView 2XPro units using one or two KVM links. 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

Step 6 - Run the upgrade program
e.g.4X16A129.HEX 4X16B129.HEX 4X16C129.HEX
e.g.4X16V129.DAT
SVXPRO 4X16V129.DAT

Installation and Use

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 upgrade
