Setup Options
Setup options are available only to the
Admin user and consist of key settings that
are normally made only during the initial
installation stage.
Hotkeys
Settings: CRTL+ALT, CTRL+SHIFT, ALT+SHIFT, ALT GR, L+R ALT, L CTRL+ALT,
R CTRL+ALT, DISABLED
The keyboard hotkeys are special combinations of keys that, when used
together with certain keyboard “command keys”, perform special AdderView
CATx functions. For example, pressing the hotkeys together with the “M” key
will cause the on-screen menu to be displayed on your monitor. Other hotkey
combinations allow you to query which computer you are connected to and
to move the on-screen menu around the screen. You can also use the hotkeys
together with the port number to select a particular connected computer.
Keypad Controls
Settings: ENABLED, DISABLED
The key controls on the front of the AdderView CATx may be disabled so that it
is only possible to select the special channels “o” (on-screen menu) and “0” (no
computer channels selected).
Exclusive Use
Settings: ALLOWED, DISABLED
In normal operation, the AdderView CATx will allow two or more users to
share access to a computer. In this mode, the computer’s video picture will be
displayed on all the users’ monitors but only one user may have active control
of the computer’s keyboard and mouse at any one time. The AdderView CATx
detects an active user by checking for keyboard and mouse data.
A user becomes inactive if no keyboard or mouse data has been received by
the AdderView CATx for a specified timeout period. Whilst one user is active
all the other users that are connected to the same computer will see a “video
only” message displayed on their screen. There may be situations where
particular users wish to control and view a computer in private with exclusive
use. The AdderView CATx has the facility to allow users to select exclusive use of
computers, however, this facility should be used with care.
Users that have selected exclusive access are never timed out by the AdderView
CATx and so all other users are effectively “locked out” until the exclusive user
switches to another computer or logs out. This could potentially be very irritating
if a user has selected exclusive use and has then left their desk without logging
out. This would prevent other users from working on the computer until they
came back. Consequently the system administrator can disable all exclusive use
so that all connections are shared.

Security
Settings: DISABLED, ENABLED
With security disabled there is no requirement for users to log-in to the system.
All users have full access to all the connected computers and full administration
rights. With security enabled, users are required to log-in to the AdderView
CATx. Each user is allocated access rights to computers by the system
administrator and they are only able to see the computers that they have access
to on their on-screen menu.
Language
Settings: ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, SWEDISH
This option specifies the language that is used for the on-screen menu and the
keyboard layout that is assumed for the keyboard. When the French option is
selected the keyboard is assumed to have an AZERTY format. When the English,
German and Swedish options are selected the keyboard is assumed to have a
QWERTY format. The new language settings are enabled when you quit from
the SETUP OPTIONS menu. The language option only affects the way that the
AdderView CATx interprets the keyboard keys, it does not affect the way that
the computers interpret the keyboard. It is advisable to avoid setting a language
that you do not understand as all the menus will change to use the new
language and you may have difficulty reselecting your original language.
