2. Installation Adder explains: Flexible configuration The SmartView XPro has many ports for connection to computers, keyboards, mice, monitors and AdderLink extenders. There are no restrictions placed upon on which ports are connected to devices and you can leave any of the ports disconnected if you wish. You do not need to connect a keyboard, monitor and mouse to each user port if you do not wish to use all of these. You may perhaps decide to connect just a keyboard and monitor or you may deci

For the local user port connections you will need: A monitor with a standard VGA-style 15-pin analogue video connector that will work when connected directly to each of your PCs. SmartView XPro supports low and high resolution monitors. An PS/2 or AT style keyboard. If you are using an AT keyboard with a 5-pin connector you may connect this to the SmartView XPro using a standard AT to PS/2 keyboard adapter. SmartView XPro supports standard keyboards and keyboards with extra media control and

Use of PS/2 and RS232 style mice with the SmartView - All of the mouse connections from SmartView to PCs support either a PS/2 or an RS232 mouse. SmartView automatically converts from the PS/2 mouse commands to RS232 serial mouse commands. Serial mice types are selected by using an adapter as described in Appendix A. The SmartView will operate without a mouse connected if you do not wish to use one. 2.2 Mounting the SmartView The SmartView XPro has been designed to be used either on a desktop or

Any unused computer connections can be left unconnected. To connect computers with serial mouse connections and AT style keyboard connections use the adapters specified in appendix A. If you have an existing 6-pin mini-DIN to 9-pin serial adapter that came with a mouse it may not be suitable for use with the SmartView as the are several different standard wiring configurations for these adapters. Suitable serial adapters are supplied in Adder's AT cable kits (part codes VKVM-2M-AT, VKVM- 5M-AT a

2.4 Configuring your PCs Configure your PC in the same way that you would if your keyboard, mouse and monitor were all connected directly to your PC, but bearing in mind the following point: SmartView emulates Microsoft compatible serial, IntelliMouse and PS/2 mice, so ensure that your PC software is configured for a Microsoft mouse of the correct type.

When cascading SmartView XPros keep in mind the following rules The maximum number of layers in a SmartView XPros cascade is four. You may cascade 4XPro units with 1, 2, 3 or 4 KVM links and 2XPro units with 1 or 2 KVM links. The number of KVM links that you install defines the number of simultaneous uses that are supported. Keep all cascade cables as short as possible. The video quality is maximised by using the shortest possible total cable run from computer to KVM. If you are making m
