AutoView 424 Installer/User Guide

The AutoView 424 offers support for numerous PS/2 mice including: IBM
ScrollPoint, Logitech MouseMan Wheel, Logitech Trackman Marble Wheel,
Logitech Trackman Marble FX, Kensington 4 Button Mouse, Microsoft Explorer
Mouse and the Microsoft IntelliMouse family.
The AutoView 424 supports Plug and Play video and is compliant with the
VESA DDC2B standard.
For added compatibility with your current equipment, AutoView 424 features
mouse translation capability. Operated through the AutoView 424, your
mouse will work with any attached computer- regardless of whether the
computer is Sun, USB or PS/2 mouse compatible!
An AutoView 424 unit will support from one to 24 attached computers, or
channels, depending on the model. If more than 24 channels are needed,
multiple units can be cascaded together for expansion. An extra tier of units
can be connected for a total of 256 attached computers in one system.
AutoView 424’s “Keep Alive” feature allows attached servers to power the unit
in the event of an AutoView 424 power failure. This prevents attached
computers from locking up and keeps you from losing time and data.
The OSD Configuration Utility allows the administrator to easily configure
and download a channel list with defined users and access privileges to the
entire system. This utility will also read and save your current configuration
for extra security.
The AutoBoot feature boots all attached servers during initial power-up or
after a power failure. Computers are booted transparently without operator
intervention, and may be powered-up one-at-a-time or all at once. When the
power stabilizes, a channel may be selected.
A built-in scanning feature allows you to automatically monitor, or scan,
connected computers without intervention. When keyboard activity is
detected, scanning is suspended until all activity stops. Scanning then
resumes with the next channel in sequence.
In addition to using the on-screen menus, you can also switch computer
channels with a simple keyboard sequence.
