Operation
General use
In use, the X200 module should be transparent - the system and its peripherals should operate exactly as normal, the only difference being that they are now a long distance apart and two computer systems (or more when used with an AdderView CATx switch) can be viewed from a single set of peripherals.
In some installations, you may see some ‘shadows’ to the right of high contrast screen characters. This can be caused by an incorrectly selected sharpness setting and it may be necessary to make adjustments to correct this. Please see Video compensation - sharpness and brightness in the ‘Special configuration’ section.
Locking and unlocking the system
In situations where the computer systems (and their local CAMs) can be locked away, the X200 module offers a viable security system to deter unauthorised use. Once a password has been set, a simple key sequence allows each system to be quickly and securely detached from the common peripherals. Only the correct password will reconnect the remote and local modules.
To lock the system
1First set a password. For further details, please refer to the Password setting section in the ‘Special configuration’ chapter.
2Simultaneously press the currently configured hotkeys (by default, 
and
) along with

To select a system using a 3 button mouse
You can use a 3 button mouse to change between channels. A 3 button mouse can either have three distinct buttons or alternatively be a ‘wheel mouse’ where the central scroll wheel may be depressed.
Notes: You first need to enable mouse switching - see Mouse switching control. When mouse switching is enabled, the click of the centre button (or wheel) will not be passed to the host computer - the rotary action of a scroll wheel will, however, continue as normal.
Press and hold the centre mouse button and then click the left mouse button to change between the two channels.
To unlock the system
1 Enter the correct password and press 
.
Note: Passwords are NOT case sensitive.
Note: If an invalid password has been entered and the keyboard indicators are not flashing as described above, press 
to clear the incorrect attempt.
