3.6.6 MOUSE SWITCHING

Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES
Settings: ENABLED, DISABLED

Like most Adder Technology KVM switches, the SmartView XPro's channel may be
switched using a three button mouse or IntelliMouse (see section 4.9). Pressing the
central button or wheel button together with the left hand mouse button will cause
the SmartView to switch to the next available computer. When mouse switching is
enabled the central mouse button or wheel mouse button is allocated to control the
SmartView and is not therefore available for use by computer applications. If you
want to use the central mouse button within your applications you will need to
disable mouse switching. The rotation action of an IntelliMouse wheel is not affected
and is always available to the computer application.

3.6.7 SCREEN SAVER

Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES
Settings: DISABLED; 2, 5, 7, 10,15, 20 & 30 MINUTES

To avoid burning out the phosphor on CRT monitor screens, the SmartView can be
set to blank the screen after no keyboard or mouse activity has been detected for a
selected timeout period. If preferred, the user can blank the screen manually by
selecting channel '0' using the keyboard hotkeys or by pressing ESC from the login
screen.

3.6.8 AUTOSCAN MODE

Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES
Settings: ACTIVE, ALL

The SmartView supports an autoscan mode that automatically scans between the
connected computers in sequence. The SmartView can be set to scan ALL the
available computers or just the available computers that are currently powered on
(the ACTIVE computers). Scanning just the active computers avoids blank screens
from being displayed and stops the monitor from going into a power down state on
every scan cycle.
