Adder Technology EPS-M8 Manuel D’Utilisation

The.AdderView.CATx.provides.an.autoscan.mode.that.switches.between.
the.connected.computers.in.sequence..This.mode.is.useful.to.allow.users.
and.administrators.to.sample.activity.among.the.connected.machines..Three.
scanning.modes.are.provided:

•.

Scan list.–.Only.computers.declared.within.an.autoscan.list.will.be.viewed..
Computers.connected.to.cascaded.switches.can.be.included.in.the.autoscan.
list.

•. Active PCs.–.Only.computer.ports.where.an.active.computer.is.detected.will.

be.viewed..This.mode.avoids.blank.screens.from.being.displayed.and.helps.
to.prevent.the.viewing.monitor.from.entering.a.power-down.state.on.every.
scan.cycle..Computers.connected.to.cascaded.switches.will.not.be.viewed.in.
this.mode.

•.

All PCs.–.This.mode.visits,.in.turn,.each.computer.that.is.connected.directly.
to.the.AdderView.CATx..This.mode.should.be.used.with.care.due.to.the.
reasons.given.in.the.warning.below..Computers.connected.to.cascaded.
switches.will.not.be.viewed.in.this.mode.

The.scanning.mode.is.a.global.setting.and.hence.will.be.the.one.viewed.by.any.
user.who.selects.

.

. .on.their.keyboard..Note,.however,.that.users.will.

only.see.the.scanned.computers.to.which.they.have.access.rights..Hence,.if.two.
users.(with.various.access.rights).simultaneously.view.an.autoscan,.they.will.see.
differing.results.depending.upon.their.respective.permissions.
WARNING: Many monitors are fitted with automatic power saving 
relays that switch off after a few seconds when connected to an inactive 
computer. If you are using such a monitor, do not set the AdderView 
CATx to the scan ‘ALL PCs’ mode. Continual switching on and off of 
the monitor’s relay will eventually damage the monitor. If using such a 
monitor in conjunction with the ‘Scan List’ option, ensure that all selected 
computers are active.
There.are.up.to.three.steps.that.need.to.be.configured.to.use.autoscanning.



•. Select the autoscan mode:.Scan.List,.Active.PCs.or.All.PCs.
•.

Select the autoscan period..This.is.the.time.that.is.spent.viewing.each.
computer..This.step.also.enables.and.disables.the.autoscan.feature.

•. Define the autoscan list..This.step.is.only.required.when.the.Scan.List.option.

is.selected.and.allows.you.to.select.which.computers.will.be.scanned.

1. Display.the.

..Note: You must be logged-in as the 

2. Highlight.‘Global.Preferences’.and.press.

.

3. Highlight.‘Autoscan.Mode’.and.press.

.until.the.required.option.is.

displayed:.SCAN.LIST,.ACTIVE.PCs.or.ALL.PCs..

1. Display.the.

..Note: You must be logged-in as the 

2. Highlight.‘Global.Preferences’.and.press.

.

3. Highlight.‘Autoscan.Period’.and..press.

.until.the.required.time.to.view.

each.computer.is.displayed,.ranging.from.2.seconds.to.5.minutes.

To define an autoscan list
Note: This stage is required only when the ‘Scan List’ autoscan mode is selected.

1. Display.the.

..Note: You must be logged-in as the 

2. Highlight.‘Edit.Autoscan.List’.and.press.

..A.list.of.all.connected.computers.

will.be.displayed..Only.computers.that.show.a.‘+’.marker.to.the.right.of.the.
menu.box.will.be.autoscanned.

3. Select.and.deselect.computers.to.scan.as.follows:

•. Individual.computer.-.Highlight.a.computer.name,.then.press.

.to.

apply,.or.remove,.the.‘+’.marker.

•. Mark.all.computers.for.scanning.–.Press. .
•. Unmark.all.computers.–.Press. .

4. When.all.settings.have.been.made,.press.

.to.save.and.exit..Press. .to.
