Introduction

Thank you for choosing the AdderView CATxIP 5000 from Adder Technology. This compact unit allows one local user plus four global users (located anywhere that has a network/internet connection) to view and take full control of multiple host computer systems.

Each global user simply requires a Real VNC client application which is supplied on CD and can also be downloaded from various locations, even from the AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit itself. Alternatively, the unit can quickly serve a Java applet to a global user, requiring only a standard internet browser to operate.

Like the other models within the highly successful AdderView CATx family, this unit takes full advantage of category 5, 5e or 6 structured cabling to provide flexible installation and configuration. Every connected computer is linked by up to ten metres of standard CATx cable and one of five types of CAM (Computer Access Module) according to the port arrangements on each computer.

The AdderView CATxIP 5000 can directly support up to sixteen computers, however, this total can be increased to a maximum of 256 by adding AdderView CATx 1000 units in cascade to provide a much larger network of

controlled computers. All AdderView CATx models provide full enterprise level security to restrict access to authorised personnel.

A copy of the ADDER.NET application is included within the package. This useful utility allows you to quickly and efficiently manage user groups and their access permissions across multiple devices such as the AdderView CATxIP 5000.

Optional power switch control allows you to remotely perform a hard reset on any host system, no matter how badly it may have locked up.

Optional power control You have the opportunity to attach one or more power switches. These control the supply to the system(s) and allow a remote user to hard reset any system that has suffered a failure.

Power switch

Local user One user can be connected directly to the AdderView CATxIP 5000. The local user has the same abilities and status as the global users.

Internet

Global users The IP models can support up to four global users at any one time. Each user can link to any host computer for which they have permission.

IP network/Internet The IP port allows direct connection to an Ethernet- based local network and from there onto the wider Internet.
