Common Features
attributes and to mimic the other functions of the trackball, e.g., moving the highlight on the setup
screens, scrolling the help screens and activating help hyperlinks. PS2 mice should be plugged into
the PS2 port and serial mice should be plugged into one of the COM ports, unless the mouse is dual
function (i.e., PS2/Serial). On the 300 Series consoles, the intellitrackball may be connected to the PS2
port on the Processor unit or on the command module. Alternatively, the intellitrackball may be plugged
into either the COM1 port on the processor unit, or the COM2 port on the command module using the
appropriate adaptor.
Important Note: Throughout this manual, references to trackball should be taken as a generic
term covering the series 500 trackball or the trackball of a two or three button or 'Intelli' type
mouse or trackball. In the event of a mouse/trackball not being available or inoperable, all the
functions performed by the trackball/mouse can be simulated using the four navigation keys on
a PC keyboard connected to the console, or, on 300 Series consoles by pressing [SHIFT] [0] to
enter cursor lock mode and using the arrow keys on the console keypad.
When you initially connect a mouse to a 300 Series console, the mouse will not operate until
you set the Mouse Net Node and Port fields in the User Setup Screen. To do this, press
then press [SHIFT] [0] to enter cursor lock mode. You can then use the cursor keys
on the console keypad to highlight the Net Node and Port fields and the [+] or [-] keys to set the
options.
Supported Mice
Microsoft or Logitech 2-button PS2 or serial mouse
Microsoft or Logitech 3-button PS2 or serial mouse
Microsoft Intellimouse or Intellitrackball or Logitech equivalents.
Important Note: When using a PS2 mouse, the mouse must be plugged into the PS2 port before
you switch on the console, otherwise, the mouse will not work.
When in any of the Setup Screens, the screen highlight will move left and right, or up and down
according to the X and Y movement of the mouse ball.
When in the Help Screen, moving the mouse through the Y axis will scroll the help screen up or down.
Pressing the left mouse button will activate the help hyperlinks.
