Computer port connections
SmartView World can be directly connected to a maximum of sixteen computer
systems. Using KVM cable sets (part number: VKVM-xM - where x is the
length: 1, 2, 5 or 10 metres), each computer is connected to one of the sixteen
numbered ports at the rear of the SmartView World.
Further systems may be connected, by linking other Adder switching products
using a cascade arrangement (explained in the ‘Cascade connections’ section).

Note: The SmartView World maintains a log of all keyboard and mouse mode
and resolution settings that are requested by each of the connected computers.
These settings are automatically restored to the shared keyboard and mouse

visible example of this process.
