3. Using the AdderLink
This section explains the general operation of the AdderLink. We recommend that
you read this section before starting to use the product.
3.1 Power on status
The AdderLink is ready for use as soon as the XR receiver and XL transmitter have
been powered on. Remember that the XL transmitter usually draws its power from
the computer via the keyboard cable and the XR unit draws its power form the
supplied power adapter.
If a security password has not been set then the AdderLink XR unit will power on
and immediately establish a link to the remote computer attached to the XL unit. On
the AdderLink this is indicated by the activity light illuminating and on the AdderLink
Gold this is indicated by the remote (1) light illuminating.
If a security password has been set then the AdderLink XR unit will only illuminate
the power light on the XR unit and will not display any video. The AdderLink will
indicate that it is waiting for a password to be entered by alternately illuminating the
num and scroll lock lights and then the caps lock light on the keyboard attached to
the XR receiver unit.
The AdderLink XL unit draws its power from the attached CPU via the keyboard
cable. The green power light confirms that there is sufficient power available. If the
power light flashes or is off continuously then there is not sufficient power available.
