Setting and using a password
Your AdderView Omega allows you to protect your computers from
unauthorized access using password protection. Using a simple
keypress combination you can isolate the keyboard, mouse, monitor
and audio from both systems until the correct password is entered.
Important: AdderView Omega password protection offers basic
surface-level protection against unauthorized users. By resetting the
AdderView Omega unit or reconnecting the keyboard directly to a
computer it is possible to overcome this level of protection. For high
level security you should consider using other forms of protection.
To set/change a password:
1 Press and hold the Omega button for roughly five seconds until
both of the AdderView Omega indicators light as well as all three
of the keyboard indicators (‘Num Lock’, ‘Caps Lock’ and ‘Scroll
Lock’). Your AdderView Omega is now ready to accept new
configuration options.
2 Using the keyboard, press and then press the Enter (Return)
key. Both AdderView Omega indicators will remain lit and now on
the keyboard, only the Num Lock indicator will be lit.
3 Using any keys on the keyboard (except , , or ) type
your new password (up to a maximum of 40 keystrokes). As you
type each character the Scroll Lock indicator will flash on and off.
Note: Unlike some computer passwords, the AdderView Omega
stores a sequence of keypresses as its ‘Password’. This means that
the exact sequence of key presses must be matched to unlock it.
Keys such as Home and Caps Lock may be part of the sequence.
Upper and lower case characters are classed equally for use within
passwords.
4 When the complete password has been entered, press the Enter
(Return) key. Now all three keyboard indicators will light once
more.
5 Press and then .
On your keyboard, the three indicators will return to their normal
states and on the AdderView Omega, only the currently selected
channel indicator will light.
To enter lock (password protection) mode:
• Using the keyboard – press . The screen will go blank
and the AdderView Omega and keyboard indicators will begin
flashing alternately.
To resume normal operation:
• Using the keyboard – enter the password and then press Enter
(Return). If the entered password matches the one stored within
the AdderView Omega, then all functions are reconnected to the
channel that was last active. The monitor should awake from its
sleep mode.
If you forget your password:
1 Switch off both computers (or temporarily remove the keyboard
connections from both computers).
2 Switch on one of the computers (or reconnect a keyboard
connection) while holding down the Omega button on the top
panel of your AdderView Omega. After five seconds both
AdderView Omega indicators will flash in unison. Release the
Omega button and then press it again and hold it down until until
both indicators light. Your AdderView Omega will now be in
Configuration mode.
3 Using the keyboard, press the letter and then press the Enter
(Return) key. Both AdderView Omega indicators will remain lit and
now on the keyboard, only the Num Lock indicator will be lit.
4 Enter a new password as described previously. When complete,
press the letter and then press the Enter (Return) key.
