connect. This will avoid the need to use key combinations to create any missing keys (e.g. the Stop, Again, Props and Undo keys for Sun systems). Sun keyboards have more keys than standard PC keyboards which have more keys than Mac keyboards and so if you are controlling a mixture of computers that include any Suns you are recommended to use a Sun keyboard.

A USB mouse.

The AdderView supports most ‘Internet / scroll mice’ that are compatible with the Microsoft IntelliMouse and Sun and Mac mice.

2.2 Mounting the AdderView

The AdderView MATRIX MP has been designed to be used either on a desktop or mounted in a 19 inch rack. If the AdderView is to be used on a desktop then you will need to stick the supplied self-adhesive rubber feet to the underside of the AdderView. If the AdderView is to be mounted in a 19 inch rack then you will need to fit the rack mounting brackets to the side of the AdderView.

2.3 Connecting your devices

Ensure that the power is disconnected from the AdderView and all devices which are to be attached. Connect any keyboards, monitors and mice to the user port connectors at the rear of the AdderView (see figure 2). The individual connectors are colour coded for your convenience. If you are connecting several KVM (Keyboard, Video monitor, Mouse) sets then you do not need to use the same brands or mix of devices on each user port.

Next, connect each computer system unit in turn using the Adder interface cables that you have purchased for use with the AdderView MATRIX MP (see Appendix A for cable specifications and part codes). These are colour coded and should connect directly to the various ports on your computers. Remember that the video quality is maximised if the cables are kept as short as possible. Where possible, 2 metre cables are recommended as these will give very high video quality. Any unused computer connections can be left unconnected. The three main cables type are shown in figure 3.
