ADMIN user. The file that is used to store the configuration settings has the additional advantage that it can be loaded into an Excel spreadsheet and edited to make changes to computer names and access rights. This edited information may then be downloaded back to the AdderView.

To save the menu names and configuration settings:

1.Logon to the Adder Technology website at www.adder.com and download the files AVMREAD.EXE and AVMWRITE.EXE.

2.Connect the serial port on the rear of the AdderView MATRIX MP to a serial COM port on your computer using the serial cable supplied with the AdderView. If you have lost this cable then you may use a replacement cable with a 9-way female connector on one end and a 9-way male connector on the other end and all lines connected straight through (i.e. pin 1 to pin 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3 etc.).

3.Run the program AVMREAD.EXE on the computer that is connected to the AdderView’s serial port. Follow the instructions given by the program.

4.Make sure that you are logged onto the AdderView as the ADMIN user. From the main selection screen press F1 for More Menus. In the Configuration Menu select Functions. In the Functions menu select Send Data to RS232 port.

5.The AdderView should then send the configuration data to your computer. The AVMREAD program will store the data in a file named AVMDATA.CSV that will be created in the same directory that you ran the AVMREAD program from.

Please ensure that you have sufficient rights to write to this directory.

To edit the menu names and configuration settings:

You may open the AVMDATA.CSV using a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel. The format of a typical file is shown below. You will see that the computer names (rows) are tabulated against the user profiles (columns). To grant a user access to a computer, enter the value 1 in the box that is common to the computer’s row and the user’s column. To deny access, leave this box blank. To add extra users, add additional columns (up to 16 users). To add extra computers, add additional rows (up to 512 computers). The ADMIN user will always be granted access to all computers regardless of the values entered.
