PC4PC3PC3PC1PC2 4 3 2 1 SMARTVIEWMULTISCREEN SECT 2 Remote control allows the main unit to be neatly concealed away from view. Welcome Introduction The Adder SmartView Multiscreen Serial is a four-way KVM switch designed for systems using multiple touch screens. The unit allows a single keyboard, mouse and (up to) two video monitors to control four separate dual screen host systems. Switching between the systems connected to the Adder SmartView Multiscreen Serial can be achieved in five different ways:• The front panel button, • The optional Remote control selector, • Keyboard hotkey combinations, • Mouse button combinations, • By external serial device control using the OPTIONS/FLASH port. The Adder SmartView Multiscreen Serial is available in two models: • SVMS4-S supports a single video monitor and serial device per switched port, • SVMS4-DS supports dual video monitors and serial devices per switched port. Serial line switching In common with all other Adder switches, the SmartView Multiscreen Serial provides completely transparent switching for the serial lines (in unison with the keyboard, video and mouse channels). Apart from the ground connections of each serial port (which remain permanently connected), all RS232 signal lines are switched. No baud rates or serial protocols need to be configured because no interpretation is made of the signals as they are cleanly passed through the unit. The video display(s) with touch screen(s), keyboard and mouse are common to all of the systems and are electronically connected to the required one using any of four switching methods. Switching can be initiated from either the keyboard or mouse in addition to the unit or optional remote control. The display clearly shows which system is currently connected to the display(s) keyboard and mouse.

5 Installation Locations Please consider the following important points when planning the positio\�n of the Adder SmartView Multiscreen Serial unit:• Situate the Adder unit close to the systems to which it will be connecte\�d. The Adder unit does not require a power supply providing that its connection cables are no longer than 2 metres. • Thanks to the remote control, the Adder unit can be situated out of sight behind a desk or adjacent to the systems. • Consult the precautions listed within the Safety.information section. SECT 3 Mounting Before you begin connecting to the keyboard, mouse and source systems, it is advisable to mount the unit in place, either: • On a horizontal surface using the supplied self adhesive feet, or • Amongst the cabling at the rear of the desk.
Making connections Connections to the Adder unit do not need to follow the precise order given in this user guide, although if one or more systems must be hot-plugged, connect these after all other connections have been made. System connections To make keyboard and mouse links (PS/-style connections) Note: Two Adder VSC3 link cables are required per connected system. 1 Ensure that the computer systems to be connected are switched off and that no power is applied to the Adder unit. (Note: If it is not possible to switch off systems prior to connection,\� then a ‘Hot plug’ procedure is available – see the Hot plugging and mouse restoration section for more details). 2 At the rear panel of the Adder unit, attach a VSC3 link cable to the (purple) \� keyboard socket of port 1. To make keyboard and mouse links (USB-style connections) Note: Two Adder VSC3 link cables plus one CCP2U converter are required per connected system. 1 At the rear panel of the Adder unit, attach a VSC3 link cable to the (purple) \� keyboard socket of the required port. 2 Attach the other end of the VSC3 link cable to the inline keyboard socket of the CCP2U converter. 3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the mouse connection (green) between the Adder unit port and the CCP2U converter. 3 Attach the other end of the VSC3 link cable to the keyboard socket (usually coloured purple) on the first system. 4 Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the mouse connection (green) between the Adder unit port 1 and the first system. Note: For neatness and accessibility it is advisable to join the keyboar\�d and mouse link cables, that lead to each system, using several cable ties. 5 Repeat the above steps for systems 2, 3 and 4 to the corresponding ports of the Adder unit. If any systems do not have PS/2-style keyboard and mouse connectors, please use an Adder CCP2U converter, as discussed opposite. Note: For neatness and accessibility it is advisable to join the keyboar\�d and mouse link cables, that lead to each system, using several cable ties. 4 Attach the USB connector of the CCP2U converter to a vacant USB socket o\�f the computer system. 5 Repeat the above steps for any other system that requires USB connections.

To make video links1 Ensure that the computer systems to be connected are switched off and that no power is applied to the Adder unit. (Note: If it is not possible to switch off systems prior to connection,\� then a ‘Hot plug’ procedure is available – see the Hot plugging and mouse restoration section for more details). 2 At the rear panel of the Adder unit, connect a video link cable to socket A of port 1. Ensure that the securing screws are used to maintain a reliable link. 3 Connect the plug at the other end of the video link cable to the corresponding video output socket of the host computer. 4 If a second video channel from the same system is to be used, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the socket C of port 1 (SVMS4-DS models only). 5 Repeat all of the above steps for each port to be used. To make serial links 1 Ensure that the computer systems to be connected are switched off and that no power is applied to the Adder unit. (Note: If it is not possible to switch off systems prior to connection,\� then a ‘Hot plug’ procedure is available – see the Hot plugging and mouse restoration section for more details). 2 At the rear panel of the Adder unit, connect a serial link cable to socket B of port 1 (D-type, male, 9 way socket).

Attach the smaller of the two cable connectors to the socket at the rear of the remote control. 1A 1B 1C OPTIONS / FLASH 2 At the other end of the cable, attach the larger connector to the OPTIONS/ FLASH socket on the right side of the Adder unit rear panel. Channel switching via RS232 control The Adder SmartView Multiscreen Serial can be controlled by a remote RS232 serial device. To do this, the serial device must be connected to the OPTIONS/ FLASH port on the rear panel of the unit using an appropriate link cable. 1A 1B 1C OPTIONS / FLASH The serial device must use the following speed/protocol settings: 1200 baud, 8 bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. No handshaking is used by the SmartView Multiscreen Serial. To perform the switching operation, simply send the character for the required channel, for example ASCII ‘1’ (hex code 31) will select channel\� 1, ASCII ‘2’ (hex code 32) will select channel 2 and so on. The SmartView Multiscreen Serial will echo the ASCII character back to the sending device when the channel has\� been changed. Pin assignments for the OPTIONS/FLASH port on the rear panel are as follows: Pin 9 = GND Pin 10 = TXD Pin 11 = RXD Other pins to be left unconnected.
