Switches 2 and 3 Switches 2 and 3 determine which two keyboard keys (when pressed in unison) are to be designated as ‘hotkeys’.
Operation In situations where the computer system (and its local CAM) can be locked away the X100 modules offer a viable security system to deter unauthorised use. Once a password has been set, a simple key sequence allows the system to be quickly and securely detached from its peripherals. Only the correct password will reconnect the remote and local modules. To unlock the system 1 Enter the correct password and press . Note: Passwords are NOT case sensitive.
Special configuration Hotkeys are two normal keyboard keys that, when pressed simultaneously with a third key, signal to the X100 modules that you are sending a message specifically to them and not to the computer.

welcome installation & special configuration The Adder X100 modules and CAMs are fully reconfigurable via flash upgrades using the KVM Firmware Uploader utility. During the upgrade you will be required to connect the X100 module directly to a computer system using a special cable. The upgrade utility will update the firmware of the X100 and also temporarily transform it so that it can update the CAM unit. Once completed, the X100 will return to its normal operation.
