will clear all the computer and user names and set all parameters back to the factory
defaults. To avoid activating this function by accident the administrator must confirm

See section 4.19 for details on using the SEND DATA TO RS232 PORT and READ
DATA FROM RS232 PORT functions. These functions are only available to the
Admin user.
4.14 Querying the routing statusIt is sometimes useful to know which KVM consoles are connected to which
computers and their connection modes (shared, exclusive or video only). For
example, if the AdderView denies you access to a particular computer you may wish
to know if another KVM console has exclusive use of this computer and
consequently is preventing your access. To query the routing status press F1 from
the main on-screen menu and then select ROUTING STATUS. A routing status
display similar to the one shown below will be displayed for 10 seconds. Press ESC
to quit or wait for the routing status screen to disappear.
4.15 Cascading AdderViewsAdderView MATRIX MPs can be cascaded in a tree structure to support larger
numbers of computers. Up to four cascade levels are supported and the number of
cascade links between AdderViews can be chosen by the user. The number of
installed cascade links determines the number of users that may be accessing ports
on the cascaded units simultaneously. The full rules that must be followed when
configuring a cascade of AdderViews are given in section 2.5.
