Adder Technology AVX4016, X200AS/R, X200A/R, X100R, RS232, X100A/R manual Overall initial configuration

Configuration

Almost all configuration and operational aspects of the AdderView CATx 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), all users attached to the AdderView CATx have full and unrestricted access to all computers and all AdderView CATx 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 CATx units have a fixed user account that cannot be deleted, named 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.

5Compensate video signals to account for link cable lengths

The long cable links that are possible between the AdderView CATx unit and the computers and also to the remote users can affect the quality of the video images displayed. Use the in-built compensation features to eliminate any potential video image degradation.

6Configure the required ‘Setup Options’ and ‘Global Preferences’

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

7Configure the IP settings

AdderView CATx IP models only. IP models possess a further collection of IP-related configuration options and encryption features that protect the installation from unauthorised global users - ensure that the IP security features are enabled before connecting the AdderView CATx IP unit to the network. The IP settings use the standard ADMIN password.
