Configuration for Synchrony
To correctly configure Synchrony, you need to install a copy on each system, configure one as the server and the rest as clients. You then need to define the relationships between the screens so that Synchrony knows when to switch, and to which screen.
To configure Synchrony
1Locate the Synchrony zip file on the supplied Adder
2Unzip the file and place the resulting group of files within a ‘Synchrony’ folder on each of the computer systems that are connected to the Adder TS4 unit.
3On each system, run the ‘synchrony.exe’ file. The main Synchrony window will be displayed:
The Synchrony application consists of three main files plus other supporting items. The three files are as follows:
Synchrony.exe The main file used to perform the initial configuration.
Synchronyc.exe This is the application file that runs on the client systems.
Synchronys.exe This is the application file that runs on the server system.
4First, you need to discover the fixed ‘Hostname’ of each system as these will be used to address each of them on the network. Click the ‘Info’ button to display the following dialog box:
Note the ‘Hostname’ as you will need to reference this system using this name.
Repeat this procedure within the copy of Synchrony on each system.
5On the ‘primary system’ only (the one that has its serial port connected to the Adder TS4 unit), select the ‘Use this computer as the server...’ radio button and then click the ‘Configure’ button:
This is where you will register each computer (including the primary system itself) and define the positional relationships between their monitor screens.
