3.5 Contending for control of the XL unit's computer (AdderLink
Gold)
Timeout mode
On the AdderLink Gold, the computer attached to the XL unit may be accessed by
the control port (Keyboard/Monitor/Mouse/Speakers/Microphone) on the XL unit or
the control port on the XR unit. Only one control port may be active at any one time.
As soon as keyboard or mouse activity is detected on a control port then this
becomes the active control port. Keyboard, mouse or microphone activity on the
inactive control port will have no effect on the XL's computer until no keyboard or
mouse activity has been detected on the active control port for the timeout period.
The timeout period is selected using option switches 7 and 8 on the XL unit (see
section 2.6). The video is broadcast to both monitors if option switch 6 is in the OFF
position or just to the active control port's monitor if option switch 6 is in the ON
position (see section 2.6).
Exclusive use mode
The control port on the XL unit may obtain exclusive use of the XL unit's computer
upon demand. To gain exclusive use, the operator uses the following hotkey
combinations. Note that these hotkeys are only applicable to the keyboard
connected to the XL unit. When exclusive use has been set the video picture from
the XL unit's computer will not be sent to the XR unit even if broadcast mode has
been selected.
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘1’ - Gains exclusive use of the computer attached to the XL unit
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘0’ - Relinquishes exclusive use of the computer attached to the XL
unit.
