    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.

    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.
