Adder Technology Switch 用户手册

The SmartView World is not limited to sharing just sixteen computers. By joining 
numerous SmartView products together in a tree-like or Cascade arrangement, 
it is possible for each user port to view many more computers. Although you 
can use exactly the same selection methods to choose any computer, you are 
strongly recommended to use the on screen menu method for the following 
reasons:

•  The 

 – this method displays the names of each computer in 

alphabetical order and also allows you to search for them by name, press 
– a useful feature in a long list. This really is the best way to access a large 
number of computers. 

•  The 

but can take too long to reach the required computer in an extensive 
configuration.

•  The 

structure, each computer can have an address up to eight digits long which 
can be difficult to remember and lengthy to type.

The SmartView World is equipped with two dual access ports - ports 1 and 3. 
These dual access ports each allow a keyboard, video monitor and mouse set to 
be connected locally as well as via an extender, such as the Adder X-Series (not 
X-Series Gold). Either the local KVM set, or the extended set may be used to 
access the SmartView World. The video picture is 
duplicated on both the local and extended access 
points, however, the SmartView World will accept 
keyboard and mouse data from only one KVM set 
at a time. When one of the KVM sets is active, 
the keyboard indicators will flash on the KVM set 
that does not have control.
After a set timeout period has elapsed since the last keyboard or mouse input, 
the option to control the SmartView World is opened up to both ports, and the 
first to respond will gain control.

As many computer screen layouts can appear very similar, the SmartView World 
provides a Reminder banner option that indicates which computer port you are 
currently viewing. The banner is usually displayed at the top of the screen, using 
blue lettering and transparent background. You have the option to:

•  Move the banner
