1. Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Adder AdderView MATRIX MP. Your AdderView MATRIX MP is a very high performance Keyboard, Video monitor and Mouse (KVM) sharing device which supports a wide range of computer hardware and software platforms. The AdderView MATRIX MP supports multiple users and enables each user to independently access the connected computers.
Adder explains: What does KVM stand for? Throughout this manual the abbreviation KVM is used to refer to the combination of a Keyboard, Video monitor and Mouse that is used to access a computer. A KVM console usually consists of a keyboard, monitor and mouse although sometimes only a keyboard and monitor may be used. Devices such as the AdderView MATRIX MP are generally known as KVM sharers or KVM switches.
1.1 Key features and benefits Enables many computers to be independently controlled by two users. Enables desktop and laptop PCs, Sun (USB), Sun (8-pin), Mac (USB), SGI, Alpha and RS/6000 computers to be controlled from a common KVM console. USB keyboard and mouse support enables KVM console devices to be chosen that are the most appropriate for multi-platform control (keyboards and mice for all the main computer types are available in USB format).
Support for up to 16 user access profiles and 512 named computers. The colours and position of the OSD menu may be changed by each user. OSD routing status window shows the computers that are currently being controlled by the KVM consoles. Supports three computer control modes - Exclusive, Shared and Video Only. Optional small-sized reminder banner permanently confirms the selected computer. Compact 1U (model 208) and 2U (model 216) cases may be neatly fitted under a monitor or fixed into a 19 inch rack.
Auto-scan list feature enables scanning of selected computers. 1.2 AdderView MATRIX MP package contents AdderView MATRIX MP.

2. Installation Adder explains: Flexible configuration The AdderView MATRIX MP has many ports for connection to computers, keyboards, mice and monitors. There are no restrictions placed upon which ports are connected to devices and you can leave any of the ports disconnected if you wish. You do not need to connect a keyboard, monitor and mouse to each user port if you do not wish to use all of these.
- PC PS/2 or RS232 two button mouse driver (any manufacturer). - Microsoft mouse driver (including IntelliMouse). - Logitech mouse driver (including two button, three button and wheel mouse). You may also need one or more of the following adapters. These adapters may be obtained from your AdderView MATRIX MP supplier and other good retailers.
connect. This will avoid the need to use key combinations to create any missing keys (e.g. the Stop, Again, Props and Undo keys for Sun systems). Sun keyboards have more keys than standard PC keyboards which have more keys than Mac keyboards and so if you are controlling a mixture of computers that include any Suns you are recommended to use a Sun keyboard. A USB mouse. The AdderView supports most ‘Internet / scroll mice’ that are compatible with the Microsoft IntelliMouse and Sun and Mac mice. 2.
Figure 3 - AdderView MATRIX MP cables. See appendix A for part codes and ordering information To connect PCs with serial mouse connections and AT style keyboard connections use the PC cable together with the adapters specified in appendix A. If you have an existing 6-pin mini-DIN to 9-pin serial adapter that came with a mouse it may not be suitable for use with the AdderView as there are several different standard wiring configurations for these adapters.
To connect Sun computers with older style 13W3 video connections you will need to use the Sun cable together with a 13W3 to 15 way D-type video adapter. The AdderView is now ready for connection to the mains using the mains power adapter supplied. It is important to apply power to the AdderView first, then power on the monitor and each of the computers in turn.
AdderView emulates Microsoft compatible serial, IntelliMouse and PS/2 mice, so ensure that your PC software is configured for a Microsoft mouse of the correct type. Refer to the list of supported drivers in section 2.1. 2.5 Structuring your AdderView MATRIX MP installation A single AdderView MATRIX MP 216 may be used to manage and control up to 16 computers (see figure 4).
number of KVM links that you install defines the number of simultaneous uses that are supported. The MATRIX MP unit should be used as the master (i.e. at the top of the tree). All other levels should be MATRIX products. Keep all cascade cables as short as possible. The video quality is maximised by using the shortest possible total cable run from computer to KVM. If you are making multiple cascade links then ensure that the cables are approximately the same length.
The following diagrams show some typical AdderView MATRIX MP installations. Fig.
Fig.
2.6 Maximising the video quality The AdderView MATRIX MP supports very high bandwidth video signals and resolutions up to 1900 x 1440 pixels. It regenerates the video signals using wideband amplifiers in order to minimise any loss of video quality. All video cables introduce distortion onto the video signal. For short cables this is minimal but for longer cables the loss of quality can start to become noticeable particularly at higher video resolutions.
2.7 Other useful installation information Intelligent cables – The USB and Sun cables contain miniature active circuits that are moulded into the ends of the cable assembly. These circuits intelligently provide signals to your computers that make them think that a keyboard and mouse are continuously attached, even if the AdderView is not connected or powered on. This increases the reliability and robustness of the installation.
enable the mouse when the PC is initially booted. If you have switched off your AdderView or you are attempting to ‘hot plug’ it into a system that is already running, you may be able to restore lost mouse movement using the AdderView's mouse restoration functions. Mouse restoration functions should be used with care as unpredictable results may occur if the wrong mouse type is selected. If in doubt restore the mouse by powering down the PC normally.
3. Configuring the AdderView MATRIX MP 3.1 Configuration summary The AdderView is configured using the on-screen menu system which is activated by default when you first power on the system. It may also be accessed by using the keyboard 'hotkeys' (see section 4.8) or by using the AdderView's front panel keys (see section 4.6). The following steps summarise a typical configuration process.
Step 3 - Create user accounts Login to the AdderView using the ADMIN account and add user profiles and passwords for each of the system users (see section 3.4). The AdderView supports up to 16 user profiles. Step 4 - Add / edit names to identify your computers Whilst you are logged into the AdderView using the ADMIN account, create names for each of the computers that you have attached to the system. The AdderView creates default names for each of its ports (Computer 1 to Computer 16).
To switch on the password security system: From the main on-screen menu press F1 for MORE MENUS. Select SETUP OPTIONS from the menu. Move the menu bar over the SECURITY option. Press SPACE BAR to enable security. Press ESC to quit from the menu. 3.3 Setting an ADMIN password The AdderView MATRIX MP supports up to 16 user profiles. The administrator of the system can grant or deny users access to any of the connected computers and has complete control over the setup of the system.
3.4 Creating and editing user accounts To create user accounts: Ensure that you are logged on as the ADMIN user. From the main on-screen menu press F1 for MORE MENUS. Select EDIT USER LIST from the menu. Press INSERT to add a new user. Type in the name of the new user and press RETURN or ENTER. Type in the password for the new user and press RETURN or ENTER.
MATRIXs then the port numbers will be four, six or eight characters long depending upon whether you have two, three or four levels of cascade (see figure 7). See the end of this section and section 4.10 for an explanation of how the port numbers are constructed. The AdderView MATRIX MP supports up to 512 computer names. To create computer names: Ensure that you are logged on as the ADMIN user. From the main on-screen menu press F1 for MORE MENUS. Select EDIT COMPUTER LIST from the menu.
Creating entries for computers connected to cascaded AdderViews You can cascade AdderView MATRIX MP units using one or two KVM links. Section 2.5 explains the rules that you must follow when installing a AdderView cascade. The number of cascade links that you install determines the number of simultaneous users that can access computers on the cascaded AdderViews.

Fig. 7 - Possible cascade groups and their associated names 3.6 Setting the SETUP OPTIONS and GLOBAL PREFERENCES The SETUP OPTIONS and GLOBAL PREFERENCES are system operating parameters that apply to the whole system rather than to individual users. These may only be setup or changed by the system administrator logged in using the ADMIN account. From the main menu press F1 for MORE MENUS. Use the cursor keys to position the menu bar over SETUP OPTIONS or GLOBAL PREFERENCES.
3.6.1 SECURITY Accessed from menu: SETUP OPTIONS Settings: DISABLED, ENABLED With security disabled there is no requirement for users to login to the system. All users have full access to all the connected computers and full administration rights. With security enabled, users are required to login to the AdderView. Each user is allocated access rights to computers by the system administrator and they are only able to see the computers that they have access to on their on-screen menu. 3.6.
quickly select a chosen computer without activating the on-screen menu. See section 4.8 for full details on using keyboard hotkeys to control the AdderView. We do not normally recommend that you disable the hotkeys but if you choose to do this then you will need to access the on-screen menu using the AdderView's front panel controls. 3.6.
3.6.6 AUTOMATIC LOGOUT Accessed from menu: SETUP OPTIONS Settings: DISABLED, ENABLED The AdderView enables you to restrict access to your computers on a login basis. If a user forgets to logout when they have finished accessing the AdderView then the user console may unintentionally be left with full access to all the computers. The AdderView may be set to automatically logout unattended user consoles when the screen saver kicks in.

If preferred, the user can blank the screen manually by selecting channel '0' using the keyboard hotkeys or by pressing ESC from the login screen. 3.6.10 AUTOSCAN MODE Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES Settings: SCAN LIST, ACTIVE PCs, ALL PCs The AdderView supports an autoscan mode that automatically scans between the connected computers in sequence. The AdderView supports three autoscan modes.
When all the computers that you wish to scan have a star to the right hand side of their name, press RETURN or ENTER to save the selections. The selected computers will be autoscanned in alphabetical order when you activate autoscan mode (when the SCAN LIST option is selected). 3.6.
3.6.14 RS232 Mouse Type Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES Settings: INTELLIMOUSE, 2 BUTTON, 3 BUTTON These setting control the type of RS232 mouse that the AdderView reports to computers. All the necessary conversions are dealt with automatically with the AdderView. The IntelliMouse setting sends four byte mouse reports to the computers and is therefore very slightly more sluggish than the others that send three byte mouse reports.
4. Using the AdderView MATRIX MP This section explains the general operation of the AdderView MATRIX MP. We recommend that you read this section before starting to use the product. 4.1 Rear panel special function switches Before powering on the AdderView ensure that the two option switches on the rear are set to the OFF (up) position. Option switch 1 is reserved for future use and option switch 2 is used to enable firmware upgrades (see section 5). 4.
4.4 COMPUTER display and key switch The COMPUTER key selects the computer port that is to be connected to the user port that is currently displayed on the green USER display (see figure 1). Pressing the key will cause the red COMPUTER display to change to the next available computer port in numerical sequence. The next available computer port is defined by the way that the AdderView MATRIX MP is configured. There are two special computer ports that may be selected using the COMPUTER key switch.
4.5 Activity indicators The AdderView MATRIX MP has a front panel activity indicator for each user port (see figure 1). The indicator will flash when keyboard or mouse data is received by the AdderView. These indicators provide a useful confirmation that the keyboards and mice connected to the AdderView are functioning normally. 4.
Action of the COMPUTER key if no security has been set and the front panel controls are enabled Action of the COMPUTER key if the front panel controls are enabled, security has been set and the current logged in user only has access to computer ports 1,3 and 7 Action of the COMPUTER key if the front panel controls have been disable. 4.
name and password to access the AdderView. 4.8 Keyboard hotkeys AdderView MATRIX MP can be conveniently controlled using special keyboard hotkey combinations. These hotkey combinations can be used to select computers and perform a number of other useful functions. All of the hotkey control commands are invoked by holding down the 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 3.
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘1’ - selects channel 1 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘2’ - selects channel 2 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘3’ - selects channel 3 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘4’ - selects channel 4 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘5’ - selects channel 5 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘6’ - selects channel 6 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘7’ - selects channel 7 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘8’ - selects channel 8 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘9’ - selects channel 9 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘1 then 0’ - selects channel 10 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘1 then 1’ - selects channel 11 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘1 then 2’ - selects channel 12 ‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘1 then 3’ - selec
be selected. For example HOTKEYs + 0 10216 would select port 1 (01) on the current AdderView, port 2 (02) on the next cascaded AdderView and port 16 on the last AdderView.
4.9 Selecting computers using the mouse Computers may conveniently be selected using a three button mouse. In order to switch to the next computer simply hold down the central mouse button (the wheel mouse button on an IntelliMouse) and click on the left hand mouse button to select the next computer. If password security has been set then the AdderView will select the next available channel, otherwise it will select the next numerical channel. Mouse switching may be enabled or disabled (see section 3.6.8).
4.10 Selecting computers using the on-screen menu You can conveniently select computers by name using the AdderView's on-screen menu. For systems with many computers this is the recommended method of computer selection. The on-screen menu is called up by pressing the ‘HOTKEYs’ and the ‘M’ key together. Its position on the screen may be moved using the 'HOTKEYs' and the cursor keys (see section 4.
To connect to a computer, place the menu bar over the computer name using a combination of the up and down cursor keys and the page up / page down keys. You may also use the wheel on a wheel mouse to move the menu bar up and down if you have enabled mouse control (see section 3.6.8).
To select the computer with SHARED access press: e or f When a computer is selected in SHARED mode, the computer’s video picture will be displayed on all the KVM consoles that are connected to that computer. Only one user will have control of the computer’s keyboard and mouse at any one time. If no keyboard or mouse activity has been detected for the timeout period (see section 3.6.13) then other KVM consoles may gain control.
You may also use a 3-button mouse or wheel mouse to select a computer if you have enabled mouse control (see section 3.6.8). To select a computer in SHARED mode use the left hand mouse button ( ) whilst the menu bar is positioned above the required computer name. To escape without selecting a new computer use the right hand mouse button. To select a computer in EXCLUSIVE mode, use the left hand mouse button together with the SHIFT key on the keyboard.
AdderView indicates an unsuccessful connection 4.11 The reminder banner Normally the AdderView will display a discreet computer name reminder banner that reminds you which computer you are connected to. This banner will normally appear at the top of the screen in a central location and may optionally be disabled (see section 4.12.2). Many computer screens can look very similar and so this banner serves as a useful reminder of which computer you are working on.
4.12 Setting the USER PREFERENCES The USER PREFERENCES are system operating parameters that are independently selectable for each user. From the main menu press F1 for MORE MENUS. Use the cursor keys to position the menu bar over USER PREFERENCES Press ENTER or RETURN to view the preferences. Use the cursor keys to place the menu bar over the required option and then use SPACE BAR to change the option as required. Press ESC to quit and save the changes. 4.12.
screen in a central position but may be moved as required (see section 4.8) 4.12.3 REMINDER COLOUR Accessed from menu: USER PREFERENCES Settings: BLUE/TRANS, PINK/TRANS, BLUE/WHITE, WHITE/RED You may select the colour of the reminder banner. The BLUE/TRANS and PINK/TRANS select blue or pink text with a transparent background. The BLUE/WHITE and WHITE/RED settings select blue and white text on solid white and red backgrounds. 4.12.
will clear all the computer and user names and set all parameters back to the factory defaults. To avoid activating this function by accident the administrator must confirm the reset instruction by pressing F8. See section 4.19 for details on using the SEND DATA TO RS232 PORT and READ DATA FROM RS232 PORT functions. These functions are only available to the Admin user. 4.
Although it is theoretically possible to select computers on cascaded units by pressing the hotkeys and then typing in the port address this would be highly confusing for users and is not generally recommended. Consequently it is normally advisable to use the on-screen menu to select computers on cascaded units.
4.17 Using the AdderLink extender Refer to the installation guide provided with your AdderLink extender. When using an AdderLink extender we highly recommend that you set the AdderLink's hotkeys to be different to the AdderView's hotkeys to avoid any confusion 4.18 What to do if you forget your ADMIN password If you forget your ADMIN account password you will not be able to access the AdderView MATRIX MP to add or edit users and computer names.

No handshaking is implemented but valid command characters will be echoed back to the sender. The top nibble (4 bits) of the command byte defines the user port that is to be switched (1=port 1, 2=port 2). The bottom nibble defines the computer port that the user port is to be switched to (e.g. 0=port 1, 1=port 2, E=port 15, F=port 16).
Sun keyboard).
5. Upgrading the AdderView's firmware The AdderView MATRIX MP uses flash memory technology which enables the firmware code to be upgraded by the user. New keyboards, mice operating systems and drivers are being launched all the time. From time to time the AdderView's firmware will be updated to provide support for these new devices. You can take advantage of these upgrades free of charge during the warranty period.
To perform a flash upgrade on the AdderView MATRIX MP: Step 1 - Prepare your computers Ensure that you have saved any important work on the connected computers. The AdderView MATRIX MP can be upgraded whilst attached to live systems but remember that the mouse connections will probably need to be reconstituted after the upgrade is finished (see sections 4.13 and 2.9). Where possible, mission critical servers should be switched off or disconnected before performing an upgrade.
Step 4 - Power off the AdderView MATRIX MP Remove the power from the MATRIX MP. Step 5 - Power on the AdderView with the UPGRADE switch ON Attach the power adapter to the AdderView whilst the UPGRADE switch is ON. The green USER display should now show a lower case 'u'. This indicates that the AdderView is ready to be upgraded. The display should now show: Step 6 - Run the upgrade program The latest version of the AdderView MATRIX MP firmware is available from the Adder Technology website at www.adder.com.
3) A data file that tells the upgrade program (XPROMP.EXE) which binary code files (HEX files) to download to the AdderView MATRIX MP and where to put each file. Theoretically this DAT file can be modified so that only certain processors are upgraded but do not do this unless specifically instructed by Adder technical support. e.g. M216V129.DAT Like the hex files, the first three digits represent the model number (e.g. 216 represents an AdderView MATRIX MP model 216 with 16 computer ports).
Follow the instructions given on the screen to perform the upgrade. When the upgrade is complete the program will confirm that the upgrade has been successful and then quit. Step 7 - Switch the UPGRADE key to the OFF position and cycle the power Switch the UPGRADE switch on the rear of the AdderView to the OFF position and disconnect the power. When the power is re-applied the AdderView will operate using the new firmware.
6. Special features of the MATRIX MP 6.1 Synchronising AdderView MATRIX MPs for multiple video head applications Multiple AdderView MATRIX MPs may be connected together so that they operate in a synchronised manner. Synchronised operation is useful for applications that require multiple video signals to be switched together. This type of operation is usually required where each computer is fitted with multiple video cards or video cards with multiple video heads.
Synchronised AdderViews used for a dual head video switching application The pinout of the RS232 synchronisation cable is as shown below.
The pinout for a “daisy chain” RS232 cable for more than 2 units is shown below: 6.2 Logging access activity By connecting the AdderView’s serial port to a computer, a time stamped log of the AdderView’s activity can be generated. This is useful for applications where it is necessary to keep track of which users have accessed which computers. A simple data logging program may be downloaded from the Adder Technology website (XPLOG.EXE).
{activity_log_destination} is the file name where the log is to be stored or the word PRINT if the log is to be printed on a printer attached to the computer’s parallel port. LPT1 {com_port} is the computer’s serial port that is connected to the AdderView. Options are 1 (for COM1) or 2 (for COM2). For example: XPLOG datalog.txt 1 would log activity information received on COM1 to the file datalog.txt.
Appendix A. Cable and connector specifications IMPORTANT NOTE The maximum cable lengths supported vary widely between devices and cables. It may be possible to use cables that are longer than those specified below with certain PCs and peripherals but this cannot be guaranteed. If you experience problems try using shorter cables. A1.
