AdderView CATx features - front and rear
The.AdderView.CATx.units.pack.a.great.deal.of.functionality.into.a.compact.
space..All.models.occupy.a.single.1U.rack.space.and.provide.most.of.their.
connectors.at.the.rear.face..The.smart.front.face.features.the.IP.network.port.
and.the.operation.indicators.
Power control port
Optionally.use.this.port.to.control.one.or.more.
power.switches..These.allow.the.remote.user.
to.take.full.control.of.the.computer.system(s).
Local user port
Connect.a.keyboard.and.mouse.(either.PS/2-style.
or.USB),.plus.a.video.monitor.and.optional.speakers.
to.these.connectors..These.allow.you.to.perform.
the.initial.configuration.of.the.AdderView.CATx..
Additionally,.you.can.use.these.to.locally.control.the.
connected.computer(s)..
Computer ports
Each.computer.connects.to.one.of.these.ports.
via.standard.category.5,.5e.or.6.cabling..At.the.
other.end.of.the.cabling.a.CAM.(Computer.Access.
Module).is.used.to.provide.the.necessary.keyboard,.
video,.mouse.and.optional.speaker.connections..
Modem port (IP models only)
Optionally.use.this.port.to.attach.either.a.
standard.modem.or.an.ISDN.adapter..This.
feature.provides.an.alternative,.direct-dial,.
remote.link.into.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.models.....
Dual power inputs
The.primary.and.
optional.auxiliary.
power.supplies.
connect.here.
Remote user ports
Up.to.four.remote.users.can.be.connected,.
using.optional.Adder.X100/X200.extenders.
and.standard.category.5,.5e.or.6.cabling,.a.
maximum.distance.of.300m.(1000ft).from.
the.AdderView.CATx.unit..CATx.IP.models.
provide.two.remote.user.ports..
IP network port (CATx IP only)
The.port.by.which.global.users.
are.linked.to.the.AdderView.CATx.
unit..This.intelligent.Ethernet.port.
can.automatically.sense.whether.
it.is.attached.to.a.10Mb.or.
100Mb.network..
Upgrade port
This.port.is.used.to.update.(when.
necessary).the.internal.firmware.
of.the.AdderView.CATx.unit.and.
optionally.to.control.port.switching..
Created through partnership
The.AdderView.CATx.IP.model.is.the.result.of.a.creative.partnership.
between.two.companies.that.are.leaders.in.their.respective.markets:
Adder.Technology.Limited.are.renowned.worldwide.for.
their.professional.KVM.switching.hardware.
RealVNC.are.creators.of.remote.control.software.for.a.
wide.variety.of.computer.systems..Speed,.simplicity.and.
security.are.their.particular.strengths...
Indicators
The.front.panel.indicators.clearly.show.key.aspects.of.operation.(CATx.and.CATx.IP.models.differ):
•.
VNC.Indicates.that.a.global.user.is.connected.and.active.
•. 00..Indicates.the.Ethernet.network.speed.(10/100Mbs).
•. DAT.Network.activity.indication.
•. LNK.Network.link.present.
•. PWR.Power.input.indicator.
•. AUX.Auxiliary.power.input.indicator.
•. -.Indicates.activity.on.the.four.user.ports..
Note: The VNC, 100, DAT & LNK indicators are
present on AdderView CATx IP models only.
On non-IP models each user port has an upper
(mouse activity) and lower (keyboard activity)
indicator.
Front panel buttons
The.COMPUTER.and.USER.buttons.allow.
the.local.user.to.select.the.required.
combination..Adjacent.numeric.displays.
show.the.current.selection..Keyboard,.
mouse.and.menu-based.switching.
techniques.are.also.available....
