Other switching options

In addition to the basic switching options (mentioned previously), your

AdderView Omega offers various extra switching modes to meet your

various requirements.

Switching audio separately

Sometimes you may wish to hear the audio channel from one of your

computers while using the other, for instance, when playing a CD

while working on the other system.

To switch channels, but leave the audio channel unchanged:

• Using the keyboard – press

• Using the mouse – press and hold the central mouse button (or

the scroll wheel), press the right mouse button and then release

both.

To resume normal (combined KVM and audio) operation:

• Select a channel in the normal manner using either the Omega

button, the keyboard or the mouse.

Using channel isolation mode

Channel isolation mode allows you to quickly blank the screen and

isolate the keyboard, mouse and audio channels from both computers.

If your monitor has a power save mode, then your AdderView

Omega’s channel isolation action should cause it to automatically

enter a low power sleep state.

Note: An automatic screen saver mode is also available that will

prompt your monitor to enter sleep mode after a set period of

keyboard or mouse activity (the audio channel remains open). Please

refer to the ‘Configuration’ section in the ‘Special features’ chapter.

To enter channel isolation mode:

• Using the keyboard – press . The screen will go blank

and both AdderView Omega channel indicators will go dark.

To resume normal operation:

• Select a channel in the normal manner using either the Omega

button, the keyboard or the mouse.

Using lock (password protection) mode

Lock mode offers the same screen blanking and channel isolation as

the screen saver mode. In addition, a password must be entered

before normal operation may continue. To use this feature, you first

need to set a password – please refer to the ‘Setting and using a

password’ section in the ‘Special features’ chapter.

Note: An automatic screen blanking mode is also available that will

prompt your monitor to enter sleep mode after a set period of

keyboard or mouse activity. Please refer to the ‘Configuration’ section

in the ‘Special features’ chapter.

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 (if a password has been set):

• 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.

To resume normal operation (if a password has not been set):

• Select a channel in the normal manner using either the Omega

button, the keyboard or the mouse.

Using autoscanning mode

Autoscanning mode allows you to switch between channels

automatically and display the video and audio output of each for a set

period of time. This function may be useful if you need to

intermittently monitor the progress of your two computers. You can

choose a time to view each channel (the dwell time) from two to sixty

seconds. The preset dwell time is 2 seconds, to change this please

refer to the ‘Configuration’ section in the ‘Special features’ section.

To enter autoscanning mode:

• Using the keyboard – press . Using the set dwell time

(two seconds as standard), your AdderView Omega will begin to

switch between the computers connected to the two channels.

To resume normal operation:

• Autoscanning mode will breakout and remain set to the current

channel as soon as any input is sensed on the keyboard or mouse.
