Selecting a computer

There are three main ways for local and remote users to select a specific
computer channel:

• Using hotkeys (as described below) – this is a good method if you continually

access a small number of computers.

•

Using the on-screen menu

– this is the best method when there are many

connected computers.

•

Using mouse buttons

– this is a good method for cycling between a small

number of computers.

For all methods (if the

confirmation box option

is enabled), when the required

port is selected, a pop up message will be displayed to confirm the computer
name or number, and its status. Alternatively, an error message explaining why a
connection is not possible (press to cancel the latter type of message).

To select a computer using hotkeys
1 Simultaneously press and hold

and

Note: The

and

keys when pressed in combination are called

‘hotkeys’ and they signal to the AdderView CATx 1000 that you wish to
control it, rather than the computer. However, if these particular hotkeys
clash with another device or program, then your administrator may change
them to a different combination. If the

combination fails to work,

then please contact the system administrator for details.

and

, press the first numeral of the required port

address, then:

• If the port address is a single character, release all of the keys.
• If the port address is two or more characters, release the first numeral

key and press the second – repeat this procedure until all of the port
address numerals have been entered, then release

and

Note: The numbers on your keyboard’s numeric keypad are not valid, use
only the numeral keys above the QWERTY section.
Note: If your user port does not have authorisation to view the selected port
then an ‘Insufficient user rights’ messages will be displayed.

If the above login prompt is not displayed, you
are either already logged in to the AdderView
CATx 000 unit, or the security features have not
been implemented. In such cases see ‘To view this
menu at any time’ below.

Operation

Local and remote user access

Local users (directly connected) and remote users (via an Adder X100/X200
extender) gain access to the AdderView CATx 1000 unit in exactly the same way.

To gain access as a local or remote user:

1 From a local or remote keyboard, press any key to display the login prompt:

2 Enter your username and password. Providing you have the correct

permissions, the screen will display the main menu, showing you a list of
computers for which you have permission to access:

To view this menu at any time: Press and hold the hotkeys (usually

then press and finally release all three keys.
Note: The

and

keys when pressed in combination are called ‘hotkeys’

and they signal to the AdderView CATx 1000 that you wish to control it, rather
than the host computer. However, if these particular hotkeys clash with another
device or program, then your administrator may change them to a different
combination. If the

combination fails to work, then please contact

your system administrator for details.
