AdderLink Installation and Use Page 35
NUM and SCROLL lock flash alternately with CAPS lock
The AdderLink alternately flashes NUM and SCROLL lock and then CAPS lock on
the keyboard attached to the XR unit to indicate that the AdderLink is currently
locked and is awaiting a password to be entered by the user to unlock the
AdderLink.
3.4 Keyboard hotkey control
AdderLink XR unit may be set to respond to various keyboard hotkey combinations.
These keyboard hotkeys are selected using the option switches on the side of the
AdderLink XR unit (see section 2.7). Keyboard hotkeys may be used to switch off
the video, lock the AdderLink and enter video compensation / configuration mode.
On the AdderLink Gold the keyboard hotkeys are also used to select between the
remote (1) and local (2) computers.
All of the hotkey control commands are invoked by holding down the two hotkeys
and then pressing a command key. By default, the two hotkeys are ‘CTRL’ and
‘ALT’, although other combinations can be selected by reconfiguring the hotkeys
(see section 2.7). Once the hotkey command has been activated you will need to
release the hotkeys and the command key before a new hotkey command is
accepted by the AdderLink. HOTKEYs + TAB is an exception and this allows you to
'tab through' the ports by holding down the hotkeys and repeatedly pressing TAB.
The hotkey commands are summarised below (IMPORTANT NOTE: the numbers
on the numeric keypad do not form part of a valid hotkey) :
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘0’ – switches off the video signal and all the associated red status
lights on the XR unit and disconnects the keyboard and mouse from the computer
that they are currently controlling. This will cause some monitors to go into standby
mode or switch off. The video signal can be re-enabled by selecting a computer
using ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘TAB’ or ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘1’ (or ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘2’ on the
AdderLink Gold) .
