AdderView MATRIX MP Installation and Use Page 12
2. Installation
Adder explains:
Flexible configuration
The AdderView MATRIX MP has many ports for connection to computers,
keyboards, mice and monitors. There are no restrictions placed upon which ports
are connected to devices and you can leave any of the ports disconnected if you
wish. You do not need to connect a keyboard, monitor and mouse to each user port
if you do not wish to use all of these. You may perhaps decide to connect just a
keyboard and monitor or you may decide to connect to just one user port. All of
these configurations are supported. What's more, your devices do not all need to be
of the same type. You may wish to use a large high-resolution monitor with an
extended keyboard and a wheel mouse on one user port and a smaller monitor with
a basic mouse and keyboard on another. The AdderView MATRIX MP intelligently
handles these mixtures of devices.

2.1 What you will need

For the computer connections you will need:
Cables to connect the AdderView MATRIX MP to each of your computer
keyboard, video and mouse ports.

or Sun systems. Each cable type is available in various lengths. You may also need

specifications and part numbers are given appendix A. (You do not need to connect
a mouse cable if you are not using the mouse).
