Unit configuration

This page provides access to a selection of both basic and advanced settings for the AdderView CATxIP 5000. Many of the settings displayed here are also accessible through the on-screen menu.

To get here

1Using VNC viewer or a browser, log on as the ‘admin’ user.

2Click the ‘Configure’ button in the top right corner.

3Click the ‘Unit Configuration’ option.

Hardware Version

Indicates the version of the electronic circuitry within the AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit.

Firmware Version

Indicates the version of the internal software within the AdderView CATxIP 5000 flash memory. This may be updated using the flash upgrade procedure.

Host Keyboard Layout

Use the arrow buttons to match the keyboard layout expected by the host system.

Admin Password

Enter the password that will be used to gain administrator access to the AdderView CATxIP 5000. There can only be one admin user and only that user is given access to the configuration menus.

Unit Name

The name entered here will be displayed on the local menus and the remote VNC viewer/browser windows.

Menu Bar Toggle Hot Key

Determines the function key that can be used to display/hide the menu bar within the VNC screen.

Encryption

Three options are available: Always on, prefer off, prefer on. The one to choose depends on the specific details of your installation - see Encryption settings for details. The use of encryption imposes a slight performance overhead of roughly 10% but is highly secure against third party intrusion.

Number of simultaneous VNC Users

Allows you to restrict the number of concurrent VNC sessions. The maximum number (and the default setting) is 4.

VNC Viewer Hot Key Sequence

When using the VNC Viewer, you can use key press combinations to select host computers and also to display the host selection menu. This option allows you to choose which keys should be used to form the hotkeys that will precede a switching command. The default setting is CTRL + ALT, so as an example when you press the CTRL ALT and 2 keys, the viewer will change to the host located at port 2.
