to the computer remain active, even when

the particular channel is not selected. This action ensures that there are no connection delays or problems as the port is selected.

To connect a computer system

1Ensure that power is disconnected from the AdderView CATxIP 1000 unit and the system to be connected.

2Locate the required CAM (there are five types available) and attach its video, keyboard and mouse (PS/2-style, USB or Sun) to the relevant sockets on the computer system.

3Lay a suitable length of category 5, 5e or 6 cabling between the computer system and the AdderView CATxIP 1000 unit. The maximum length of the cable can be up to 10 metres (32 feet), however, bear in mind that the overall distance between a remote user and any computer must not exceed 300 metres (980 feet).

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.
