3. Using the SmartView
This section explains the general operation of the SmartView. We recommend that
you read this section before starting to use the product.
3.1 Power on status
At power on the SmartView selects PC number 1 and displays '1'. If a password has
been set then ‘P’ will be displayed and the SmartView will remain locked until a valid
password is entered. The 12 and 16 port models are also fitted with a power
indicator.
3.2 Status lights
The green CPU status lights (1-16) show the on/off status of the connected CPUs.
This status is derived from the CPU keyboard connection and operates even when
the SmartView is powered off.
The red status lights (A and B) show the activity status of the local and remote
keyboard / monitor / mouse control ports. When port A is active port B is disabled
and vice versa. A port becomes active and the associated light comes on when
keyboard or mouse data activity has been detected. When no keyboard or mouse
data has been detected for the timeout period (see section 4.3) the port becomes
inactive, the light goes out and the other port can then be used.
3.3 Front panel keys and remote controller
SELECT key
The SELECT key is used to select which channel is currently controlled by the
shared keyboard, mouse and monitor ports. It is also used to enter configuration
mode (see section 2.5). Pressing the key during normal operation will cause the next
channel to be selected.
