Host configuration

This page provides the opportunity to configure various details for each of the host systems that may be connected to the AdderView CATxIP 5000. Each entry can be configured with a name, the permitted users, the hot key combinations required to switch to it and, if required, appropriate power control commands.

Add entry for unrecognised host

When selected, any systems visited that are not specified in the Hosts list, will be added to the list. It is useful to tick this option when cascaded systems are first added to the installation.

Sort

Allows you to reorder the list of hosts either alphabetically or by entry number.

Erase Host Configuration

Removes all hosts from the list.

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 ‘Host Configuration’ option.

To create a new host entry

1Click one of the host entries to reveal a Host configuration dialog.

Note: Host computers connected to a cascaded AdderView unit will appear within the list (providing the ‘Add entry for unrecognised host’ option is ticked) and you can easily discern them from directly connected systems because their addresses will be four digits, rather than two.

Name

Enter the name that will be displayed in the viewer window when you click the Host button.

Users

Select the users that will be permitted to connect to this host. Either enter * to allow all users or a list of users separated by commas (e.g. admin, nigel, preben, steve).

Hotkey / KVM Port

Declare the numeric sequence that is pressed together with the hotkeys (usually Ctrl + Alt) to select this host system, which is the same value as the KVM port number.

Power On

Enter the code required to make an attached power control unit apply power to the selected host. See Power switching configuration for details.

Power Off

Enter the code required to make an attached power control unit remove power from the selected host. See Power switching configuration for details.

2Enter the required information in each field.

3Click the OK button.
