Operation

Powering on

The SmartView World does not have a power switch, so whenever power is applied via the supplied adapter, the unit is operational. A green indicator on the front panel (labelled ‘Power’) shows power input status.

Note: Before applying power to the SmartView World, ensure that the two option switches at the rear panel are both set to the OFF (up) position.

The front panel controls

The SmartView World front panel provides a range of buttons, indicators and connectors. The items on the left side of the front panel are linked with the KVM switching aspects, while the right-side are solely concerned with the remote IP access features.

User port activity indicators

These four red indicators provide confirmation that keyboard and mouse activity is being detected from each of the four user ports.

Computer button and numeric indicator

These items allow you to select any one of the SmartView World’s sixteen computer ports. As the button is pressed, the number shown by the red numeric indicator will increment to the next available computer channel. The computer port selected will then be connected to the user port that is currently selected by the adjacent user button and green numeric indicator.

User button and numeric indicator

These items allow you to select any one of the SmartView World’s four user ports. With each press of the button, the number displayed by the green numeric indicator will advance from port 1 through to port 4 and then loop back to port 1. At the same time, as each user port number is displayed, the computer port that is currently associated with that port will be indicated by the red numeric indicator.
