Operation 2 3 4 Tamper-evident seals • The buttons are clearly labeled to eliminate any ambiguity. • Press the appropriate button to select the labeled channel. • When the chosen channel has been connected, the adjacent indicator will illuminate (continuously) to confirm. If the indicator flashes, then the selected computer is either switched off or disconnected. • Each channel uses a differently colored indicator to provide additional visual feedback about the chosen channel.
Further information Video from some computers only • Remember that the AdderView Secure does not convert digital video signals to analog signals and vice versa so it is not generally possible to mix digital and analog inputs. Mixed systems are possible in certain special circumstances but these will require specialist assistance from Adder technical support. Microprocessor malfunction or unanticipated software bugs causing data to flow between ports.
Forced malfunctions due to overloaded signalling. Data transfer by means of common storage. USB ports support keyboard and mouse connections only. The product does not enable a USB memory stick or disk drive to be shared between computers. Unidirectional keyboard and mouse data signalling protects against data transfer across the switch. Timing analysis attacks.
