3. Using the AdderView DVI
This section explains the general operation of the AdderView DVI. We recommend
that you read this section before starting to use the product.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Some DVI video cards need to communicate with a monitor before they will
output a video signal. This communication normally occurs within the first 5
seconds after the computer has been powered on. The computer can only
communicate with the monitor if it is the currently selected computer. If you
have this type of DVI video card you will need to select the computer before
switching the computer on. To make this process easy for you we have built
an auto-switch function into the AdderView DVI. With the auto-switch function
enabled the AdderView will automatically switch to a computer when the
computer is powered on. When powering on several computers you should
power them on in sequence, waiting a few seconds between each one to allow
the video card to communicate with the monitor.
• To enable the auto-scan function move switch 1 on the underside of the
AdderView DVI to the ON position.
• To disable the auto-scan function move switch 1 on the underside of the
AdderView DVI to the OFF position.
3.1 Power on status
At power on the AdderView DVI selects computer 1 and displays '1'. If a password
has been set then ‘P’ will be displayed and the AdderView DVI will remain locked
until a valid password is entered.
