Computer system (via CAM)
Each.computer.system.is.connected.
to.the.AdderView.CATx.unit.via.a.
Computer.Access.Module.(CAM).
and.standard.category.5,.5e.or.
6.cabling..CAMs.are.available.in.
various.formats.to.suit.differing.
computer.system.types.and.their.
particular.connector.styles.
To connect a computer system
1. Ensure.that.power.is.disconnected.from.the.AdderView.CATx.unit.and.the.
system.to.be.connected..
(Note: If it is not possible to switch off devices prior to connection, then
a ‘Hot plug’ procedure is available – see the
Hot plugging and mouse
restoration section for more details).
2. Locate.the.required.CAM.(there.are.five.types.available).and.attach.its.video,.
keyboard.and.mouse.(PS/2-style,.USB.or.Sun).and.optional.audio.connectors.
to.the.relevant.sockets.on.the.computer.system..
3. Lay.a.suitable.length.of.category.5,.5e.or.6.cabling.between.the.computer.
system.and.the.AdderView.CATx.unit..The.maximum.length.of.the.cable.
can.be.up.to.50.metres.(160.feet),.however,.bear.in.mind.that.the.overall.
distance.between.any.remote.user.and.any.computer.must.not.exceed.300.
metres.(980.feet).
4. Attach.the.connector.of.the.cable.
run.to.the.socket.of.the.CAM.
5. At.the.other.end.of.the.cable.run,.attach.the.cable.connector.to.one.of.the.
sockets.labelled. COMPUTER CONNECTIONS .on.the.rear.panel.of.the.AdderView.

Green indicator - power present
Yellow indicator - signal activity
Note: CAMs derive power from the
computer system via either the PS/2-style
keyboard connector, USB or SUN connector.
6. Where.necessary.use.the.in-built.video.compensation.feature.of.the.
AdderView.CATx.unit.to.eliminate.any.effects.caused.by.the.cable.run..See.
Computer video compensation .for.details....
Note: Each CAM is
specifically shaped so
that it can be secured
using a cable tie around
its middle. In this way,
two CAMs can also be
neatly joined together,
back-to-back..
