After installation and setup is complete, both LEDs on Model 97 are
off. Model 97 automatically detects activity on a station, switches to it,
and turns on that station’s LED. The LED goes on only when a key is
pressed or a mouse is clicked or moved.
Active Delay
This first-come-first-serve automatic switching between stations may
become a nuisance if one station starts typing or moving their mouse
while the other is already typing. This may cause the Model 97 to
switch from one station to the other and characters from both stations
to be mixed. To prevent this from happening, Active Delay is enabled
which makes Model 97 wait 5 seconds before switching between
stations. Alternatively if you are collaborating with the person at the
other station it is a good idea to leave the delay off so that at any time
either person can move the mouse, or type.
Blanking Inactive Station Monitor
Model 97 normally sends the PC’s video output to both stations
simultaneously. To blank the screen on the inactive station’s monitor,
put BLANKING DIP switch (#1) in the ENABLE position (See figure
1, item A). If blanking is enabled, only the currently active (or last
selected) station has video and other monitor is off.
Extending Station B
Model 97 allows Station B to extend beyond 50 feet and up to 300 feet.
Hall Research Technologies’ optional RXP-VKM receiver is placed
between Model 97 and Station B (see Remote Station Setup above).
To extend Station B on Model 97-P, only a VGA cable is used to
connect it to the RXP-VKM unit. This cable will carry the signal for
the monitor, as well as the keyboard and mouse (this cable need to be
purchased from HRT). If Station B is being set up remotely on Model
97-S, the VGA cable above carries the signal for the monitor and the
keyboard, but the mouse has to be extended using an additional male-
to-female DB-9 serial cable which is available from Hall Research
Technologies (see Accessories above).
