Configuration

Almost all configuration and operational aspects of the AdderView CATxIP 1000 units are controlled via on-screen menu displays.

Overall initial configuration

When setting up a new installation, the following stages are recommended:

1Enable the general ‘Security’ option.

With security disabled (default setting), a local or remote user attached to the AdderView CATxIP 1000 will have full and unrestricted access to all computers and all AdderView CATxIP 1000 settings. In larger installations, you are strongly recommended to enable security and set up individual user accounts with access privileges.

2Create an ADMIN (administration) password.

All AdderView CATxIP 1000 units have a fixed user account that cannot be deleted or renamed, called ADMIN. This user account is the only one that is able to make important system changes. If you intend to use security, then it is important to allocate a password to the ADMIN account.

3Create user accounts and allocate access rights.

Use the ADMIN account to add user profiles, passwords and access rights for each of the system users.

4Provide names for computers.

When numerous computers are attached, you are strongly advised to provide names for each, to assist with recognition.

5Configure the required ‘Setup Options’ and ‘Global Preferences

Use the ADMIN account to determine key AdderView CATxIP 1000 settings and timing characteristics.
