Introduction
Thank.you.for.choosing.the.AdderView.CATx.series.
from.Adder.Technology..Each.of.the.four.models.
have.been.designed.to.take.full.advantage.of.CATx.
structured.cabling.(where x means category 5, 5e or 6).
to.provide.high.quality.linking.plus.ultimate.flexibility.
for.installers.and.operators.alike.
At.its.heart.the.AdderView.CATx.is.a.tried.and.trusted.
digital.KVM.+.audio.switch.with.16.or.24.ports..In.
its.simplest.form,.the.AdderView.CATx.allows.up.to.
four.users.to.maintain.full.control.over.multiple.host.
systems.. This.description,.however,.is.far.from.sufficient.to.tell.
you.that.those.four.users.can.easily.be.situated.up.to.
300m.(980.feet).from.the.unit,.using.Adder.X100.or.
X200.extenders..It.also.does.not.tell.you.that,.thanks.
to.our.unique.Adder.CAM.(Computer.Access.Module).
technology,.the.host.systems.can.themselves.be.up.
to.50m.(160.feet).from.the.unit..In.both.cases.CATx.
structured.cabling.provides.neat,.easy-to-manage.
and.cost.effective.linking..The.16-.or.24-.ports.of.the.
standard.units.are.by.no.means.the.limit..By.cascading.
one.or.more.AdderView.CATx.units.you.can.easily.
control.up.to.512.host.computers. The.AdderView.CATx.IP.variants.introduce.true.global.
control.for.the.multiple.host.systems..Up.to.four.global.
users.can.share.access.to.a.computer.from.anywhere.
via.an.IP.network/internet.connection.using.a.Real.VNC.
client.application..A.modem/ISDN.port.provides.an.
alternative.backup.connection.should.the.network.link.
suffer.a.failure..Optional.power.switch.control.allows.
you.to.remotely.perform.a.hard.reset.on.any.host.
system,.no.matter.how.badly.it.has.locked.up..Finally,.
to.ensure.that.only.authorised.operators.are.given.such.
power,.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.units.feature.enterprise.
grade.security.

Many computers
AdderView.CATx.units.can.directly.support.
either.16.or.24.computer.systems..Multiple.
AdderView.CATx.units.can.also.be.cascaded.
to.support.a.maximum.of.512.computers..
Each.system.is.linked.using.a.Computer.
Access.Module.(CAM).and.category.5,.5e.
or.6.cabling.to.a.maximum.distance.of.50m.
(160.ft).from.the.AdderView.CATx.unit...
Optional power control
The.IP.models.provide.the.
opportunity.to.attach.one.or.
more.power.switches..These.
control.the.supply.to.the.
system(s).and.allow.the.global.
user.to.hard.reset.any.system.
that.has.suffered.a.failure..
Local user
One.user.can.
be.connected.
directly.to.the.
AdderView.CATx......
Modem/ISDN port
This.port.offers.a.
connection.option.
that.can.be.used.
alongside,.or.instead.
of,.the.IP.network.
link..It.also.offers.a.
backup.route.should.
the.network.fail..
Global users
The.IP.models.can.support.
up.to.four.global.users.
at.any.one.time..All.of.
these.may.be.connected.
via.the.IP.network.port.or.
one.may.be.linked.via.the.
modem/ISDN.channel.....
Remote users
Up.to.four*.users.can.be.
linked,.via.Adder.X100/X200.
extenders.and.category.5,.5e.
or.6.cabling,.to.a.maximum.
distance.of.300m.(980.ft)....
*.The.IP.models.allow.two.
remote.(extended).users.....
CAM formats
The.CAMs.are.available.in.
different.formats.to.support.all.
common.types.of.systems,.which.
can.easily.be.mixed.within.a.
multi-format.configuration..
