Introduction
INDEX
Switching between computers can also be controlled from the smart front panel or by
using keyboard shortcuts. Multiple techniques are employed to ensure that no crosstalk
can occur between the connected computer channels.
CONFIGURATION
• Uni-directional keyboard, video, mouse and audio data paths prevent any potential
information leakage through shared peripherals.
• No shared memory between channels: The keyboard and mouse processor is powered
down and reset at each switchover to thwart shared data leakages.
• Automatic switching between ports simply by moving the mouse between windows,
whilst depressing the Ctrl key (a security feature).
• Clear channel identification to reduce the chances of operator error by displaying a
user defined name and security classification for each channel on the status display.
The color of the channel indicators may also be configured to reflect the security
classification.
• Hardware anti-tampering: Holographic anti-tampering labels protect the product’s
enclosure, providing a clear visual indication if it has been opened or compromised.
• Restricted USB function: The USB ports will only accept HID (Human Interface
Devices), such as keyboards and mice.
• There is no access to the product’s firmware or memory through any port. Firmware
is permanently stored in non-reprogrammable Read Only Memory (ROM) to prevent
modification.
• Up to UHD 4K video output resolution is generated so the HD input signal quality is
preserved - even in tile window layout.
• Dual video outputs where the 2nd either duplicates the 1st or extends the desktop.
• Connect to either single or dual head computers.
• Analog audio with Hold feature.

Once powered up, the Console ‘in use’ indicators will flash for a few seconds whilst the
peripheral information is read. Once the peripheral has been accepted, the indicator
will remain on. A security feature means that peripheral information will not be re-read
unless the switch is power cycled. This is designed to prevent peripherals being replaced.
The power up sequence takes about 30 seconds for the switch to become operational.
IMPORTANT: Please read and adhere to the electrical safety information
given within the supplied safety guide. In particular, do not use an unearthed
power socket or extension cable.
FURTHER
INFORMATION
The RCU port allows the switch unit to be connected
to, and controlled by an external source. Refer to the API
Manual (MAN-000022) for programming detail.
Note:When the switch is under remote control, the front panel
indicators will continue to reflect the current selected channel,
however, the buttons will have no effect.
A security feature means that once the switch is under remote
control, it will remain so until the unit is power cycled, regardless
of whether the remote control cable is disconnected.

Using with dual head computers
Dual head computers may be connected to channels 1+2 or 3+4. A video connection is
required to each input channel, together with a single USB and audio connection to the
primary channel (ie 1 or 3) for use with Windows or Linux. This functionality needs to be
configured in the Video Settings page of the OSD. See page 13.
OPERATION
The above hotkey function is particularly useful if the output display is unable to display
the default resolution and you cannot view the OSD menu.
GENERAL CONFIGURATION
Windows Operation
In addition, a Windows 10 driver is required, which may be downloaded from
www.adder.com.
On each multiple monitor computer, run the downloaded file. After accepting the licence
agreement you will be prompted to choose a destination folder. Either accept the
suggested location or change it, as necessary. No configuration is required.
Linux operation
FURTHER
INFORMATION
The secure multi-viewer switch defaults to an output resolution of 3840 x 2160. If you
are using a display which only supports smaller resolutions, you will need to configure
the output resolution to match.
This is performed using the hotkey combination: L Ctrl | L Ctrl | F11 | d | #
where # represents the desired resolution:
1 = 2048 x 2048
2 = 2560 x 1440
3 = 2560 x 1600
4 = 1920 x 1080
5 = 1920 x 1200
6 = 3840 x 1080
7 = 3440 x 1440
8 = 3840 x 2160
Video, USB and audio connections are required to each channel: primary and secondary.
No drivers are required.

Audio Hold
The Audio Hold button prevents switching the audio port when changing
the other console peripherals (keyboard, mouse, video) to another
computer channel. This function is useful when you need to listen to the
audio from one computer while working on another.
Using the front panel computer channel buttons, first connect the console peripherals
to the computer from where the audio feed is required. Press the Audio Hold button on
the front panel. Then press the channel button for the computer that is required for the
other peripherals. The audio association will be signalled by the right indicator on each
channel’s front panel push button.
To release the audio from hold status, press the Audio Hold button again.
Status display
The secure nature of the switch entails that all USB
communications are uni-directional. This means that the
keyboard num, caps and scroll lock indicators will not work.
Therefore, the secure switch provides such indications on the
optional remote control unit.
The status display also shows the current channel number; the channel from which audio
is being derived and also the remote control unit status.

The secure multi-viewer switch allows the user to view the video outputs of up to four
host computers simultaneously, either on a single display or dual displays. Keyboard and
mouse control is assigned to a single host computer at a time and is switchable using a
number of methods (see page 19).
Secondary

In everyday use, the secure switch has two main modes of operation:
• User mode - this is the normal mode of operation, where the switch is essentially
transparent. This means that your commands pass straight through to interact with the
host PC(s), as if you were directly connected to them.
• System mode - in this mode, your link with the PC(s) is temporarily suspended and
instead you interact directly with the switch. This allows you to perform certain tasks,
such as re-sizing windows and arranging preset layouts.
It is quick and easy to change between the two modes, as follows.
Status display
• In any of the multi-view layouts, hold the Left Ctrl button on the keyboard and move
the mouse cursor across the boundaries of the display windows. Release Left Ctrl to
enable keyboard control of the selected computer.*

Using + and – hotkeys
The + and – keys located on the keypad section (on the
right side) of your keyboard are NOT supported for use as
hotkeys. For hotkey functions such as window scaling and
mouse speed adjustment, use only the + and – keys that are
located in the main keyboard section, just to the left of the
backspace key. Note also that on non-QWERTY (US/UK)
keyboards, these two keys may not be labeled as + and –
however, their functions as + and – hokeys remain valid.
