non-USB) are interrupted, often they fail to re-initialise when reconnected. The Adder TS4 provides a feature to reinstate mouse communications once the necessary connections have been made. There are two main types of data formats used by current non-USB mice, these are the older ‘PS/2’ format and the more recent ‘IntelliMouse®’ format introduced by Microsoft. These use slightly different data arrangements and it is important to know which type was being used before you hot-plugged the system to the Adder TS4. The previous setting depends both on the type of mouse and the type of driver, as various combinations of PS/2 and IntelliMouse are possible. Using the incorrect restore function may produce unpredictable results and require the system to be re-booted. Which restore setting do I use? The general rule is that unless both the mouse and the driver are both IntelliMouse compatible then you need to restore the mouse as ‘PS/2’. An IntelliMouse can operate in either mode, whereas a PS/2 mouse cannot. Recognising an IntelliMouse-style mouse The IntelliMouse format was introduced to support, among other features, the scroll wheel function. If the mouse has a scroll wheel, then it is likely to support the IntelliMouse format. If it is a Microsoft-branded mouse, then it will usually state that it is an IntelliMouse on its underside label. Recognising an IntelliMouse driver Before hot plugging to the Adder TS4 (or afterwards using only keyboard control), access the Windows Control Panel of the system and select either the Mouse option (on Windows NT, 2000 and XP) or the System option (on Windows 95, 98, ME). Look for the name of the driver, which will usually include the words PS/2 or IntelliMouse. To restore mouse operation when hot plugging: 1 Using link cables, carefully make the keyboard and mouse connections between the host system and the appropriate ports on the Adder TS4. 2 Press and hold the SELECT button on the Adder TS4 front panel for five seconds, until the SYSTEM readout shows C (Configuration mode). 3 Choose one of the following actions: • To restore a standard PS/2-style mouse: Press • To restore an IntelliMouse: Press The SYSTEM readout will show the entered characters and then return to show C when you press . The mouse restoration should now be complete. Note: The restore functions predict the likely mouse resolution settings but may not restore the exact speed or sensitivity settings that were originally set. 4 Move the mouse a short distance and check for appropriate on-screen cursor movement. If the mouse cursor darts erratically around the screen, then cease moving the mouse. This is an indication that the chosen restore function is incorrect. Try again using the other restore function. 5 To exit from Configuration mode, press . ... . ... . ...... . ... ........... .... .... ... . .... .. ... .... 3 Operation Selecting systems In operation, the Adder TS4 allows you to quickly switch between up to four systems. One system can be accessed at a time, whereupon the common keyboard and mouse are linked to that system. The Adder TS4 deceives the other systems that they still have a keyboard and mouse connected to them in order that they respond quickly and correctly once they are again selected. The SYSTEM readout On the front panel of the Adder TS4 unit, the SYSTEM readout indicates either: • The computer system to which the keyboard and mouse are connected, or • An alternative mode of operation, such as password protected mode, configuration mode, upgrade mode, etc. Main digit indicates currently selected system or other modes - see below for details. Flashing dot indicates keyboard and/or mouse activity. Typical SYSTEM readout displays are: , , or Indicates the currently selected system. The selected channel will also be indicated on the remote control. The Adder TS4 is disabled, no system is currently selected. The remote control will not show any channel indication. The Adder TS4 is password protected. You must enter the current password to gain access. See Setting.(or.changing). a.password for details. The remote control will not show any channel indication. Configuration mode is currently active. Press to exit. See Configuration.options for details. The remote control will not show any channel indication. Upgrade mode is currently active. See Upgrading for details. The remote control will not show any channel indication. The upgrade process is complete. Set mini switch 7 to OFF to exit upgrade mode. There are five ways to select a system: • The Adder TS4 unit SELECT button • The optional RC4 Remote control selector • Keyboard hotkey combinations • Mouse button combinations • Automatic switching using the optional Synchrony utility To use the Adder TS4 unit SELECT button Note: You can determine whether the Adder TS4 visits every port in turn (regardless of whether active systems are connected to them) or only those with active systems connected.
