Adder Technology AVM216MP User Manual

  AdderView emulates Microsoft compatible serial, IntelliMouse and PS/2 mice, so

ensure that your PC software is configured for a Microsoft mouse of the correct type.
Refer to the list of supported drivers in section 2.1.

A single AdderView MATRIX MP 216 may be used to manage and control up to 16
computers (see figure 4). For larger numbers of computers, MATRIX MP units may
be cascaded in a tree structure with AdderView MATRIX products to form a video
switching network (see figure 5). The AdderView unit at the top of this tree structure
is normally used to control all the cascaded AdderViews although other
configurations are possible.

The AdderView MATRIX MP and AdderView MATRIX are fitted with an intelligent
communication system that enables it to detect and communicate with other
AdderViews so that it is able to positively verify that all the cascaded AdderViews
have correctly responded to a switching request from the user. The AdderViews
communicate with each other via the keyboard cables.

AdderView MATRIX MP may be cascaded in a very flexible manner. Either 1 or 2
links may be made between cascaded AdderViews. The number of independent
users supported by the system is determined by the number of cascade links that
have been installed. If two cascade links are made then two users have
simultaneous access to ports on the cascaded AdderViews. The AdderView
intelligently manages the cascade links and allocates them on a first come first
served basis rather like a telephone network.

AdderView MATRIX MP may also be cascaded to some other Adder KVM switches
although some restrictions may apply. Please consult Adder or your supplier if you
would like more information.

  The maximum number of layers in a AdderView MATRIX MP / MATRIX cascade

is four.

  You may cascade MATRIX MP / MATRIX units with 1 or 2 KVM links. The
