Adder Technology Switch 用户手册

It is strongly recommended that you switch off a computer before attempting 
to connect it to the SmartView World. However, if this is not possible then you 
need to ‘hot plug’ the computer while it is still running. There is not normally 
a danger of damage to the computer, however, when mouse communications 
are interrupted, often they fail to re-initialise when reconnected. The SmartView 
World provides a feature to reinstate mouse communications once the necessary 
connections have been made.
There are two main types of data formats used by current PC mice, these are the 
older ‘PS/2’ format and the more recent ‘IntelliMouse

®

’ format introduced by 

Microsoft. These use slightly different data arrangements and it is important to 
know which type was being used before you hot-plugged the computer to the 
SmartView World. The previous setting depends both on the type of mouse and 
the type of driver, as various combinations of PS/2 and IntelliMouse are possible. 
Using the incorrect restore function may produce unpredictable results and 
require the computer to be re-booted.

The general rule is that unless both the mouse and the driver are both 
IntelliMouse compatible then you need to restore the mouse as ‘PS/2’. An 
IntelliMouse can operate in either mode, whereas a PS/2 mouse cannot.

Recognising an IntelliMouse-style mouse
The IntelliMouse format was introduced to support, among other features, the 
scroll wheel function. If the mouse has a scroll wheel, then it is likely to support 
the IntelliMouse format. If it is a Microsoft-branded mouse, then it will usually 
state that it is an IntelliMouse on its underside label. 

Recognising an IntelliMouse driver
Before hot plugging to the SmartView World (or afterwards using only keyboard 
control), access the Windows Control Panel of the computer and select either 
the Mouse option (on Windows NT, 2000 and XP) or the System option (on 
Windows 95, 98, ME). Look for the name of the driver, which will usually 
include the words PS/2 or IntelliMouse. 

1  Using a KVM cable set, carefully make the connections between the 

keyboard, monitor and mouse sockets of the computer and the required 
SmartView World port.

•  Restore Standard Mouse – if PS/2 mode is required, or   
•  Restore IntelliMouse – if IntelliMouse mode is required.

5  Move the mouse a short distance and check for appropriate on-screen 

cursor movement. If the mouse cursor darts erratically around the screen, 
then cease moving the mouse. This is an indication that the chosen restore 
function is incorrect. Try again using the other restore function.
Note: The restore functions predict the likely mouse resolution settings but 
may not restore the exact speed or sensitivity settings that were originally 
set.
