6  Beneath the Screens field, click the ‘+’ button to display the Add Screen 

dialog so that you can add a new screen (computer system):

7  In the ‘Screen Name’ field, enter the ‘Hostname’ (see step 4) of one of the 

computer systems and choose the corresponding ‘Switch Number’ (its port 
number on the Adder TS4 unit). 

  You can optionally use the other controls within this dialog:
 

Aliases - Enter one or more unique names that you would prefer to use for 
the system.

 

Dead.Corners - This option allows you to define one or more corner regions 
of the screen where you need to prevent switching to another screen. This is 
most often used in the corner where the Windows Start button is located so 
that you do not accidentally switch screens. Check one or more of the boxes 
to select the appropriate corner(s) and use the ‘Size‘ field to define a square 
area (side length of the square in pixels, extending out from the corner) in 
which switching should be disabled. 

8  Click the OK button when all items have been entered.
9  Repeat steps 6 to 8 to define each system, including the primary server 

system itself.

screens of the systems, using the lower part of the Screens & Links window.

top or bottom) of a screen, and the screen to which it should switch, e.g.

12  Click the ‘+’ button to add your entry to the list. The above entry would be 

added to the list as follows:

 

 PC2 is right of PC1-Primary

13  Repeat steps 11 and 12 for each screen border that leads to another screen. 

This must be done for both switching directions, i.e. ‘...right of PC1 goes to 
PC2’ and left of PC2 goes to PC1’.

 

 The percentage 

values only need 
to be changed if 
different switching 
routes from the same 
screen are required. 
In the example right, 
the bottom half of 
the right side of PC1 
switches to PC3, while 
the top half goes 
to PC2. This would 
expressed as follows:

 

 

0 to 4% of the right of PC1-Primary goes to 0 to 100% of PC3

   50 to 00% of the right of PC1-Primary goes to 0 to 100% of PC2
