Adder Technology CATX-PS2A, X200AS/R, X200A/R, X100R, RS232, X100A/R, AVX4016, X200R manual Introduction

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the AdderView CATx series from Adder Technology. Each of the four models have been designed to take full advantage of CATx structured cabling (where x means category 5, 5e or 6) to provide high quality linking plus ultimate flexibility for installers and operators alike.

At its heart the AdderView CATx is a tried and trusted digital KVM + audio switch with 16 or 24 ports. In its simplest form, the AdderView CATx allows up to four users to maintain full control over multiple host systems.

This description, however, is far from sufficient to tell you that those four users can easily be situated up to 300m (980 feet) from the unit, using Adder X100 or X200 extenders. It also does not tell you that, thanks to our unique Adder CAM (Computer Access Module) technology, the host systems can themselves be up to 50m (160 feet) from the unit. In both cases CATx structured cabling provides neat, easy-to-manage and cost effective linking. The 16- or 24- ports of the standard units are by no means the limit. By cascading one or more AdderView CATx units you can easily control up to 512 host computers.

The AdderView CATx IP variants introduce true global control for the multiple host systems. Up to four global users can share access to a computer from anywhere via an IP network/internet connection using a Real VNC client application. A modem/ISDN port provides an alternative backup connection should the network link suffer a failure. Optional power switch control allows you to remotely perform a hard reset on any host system, no matter how badly it has locked up. Finally, to ensure that only authorised operators are given such power, the AdderView CATx IP units feature enterprise grade security.

Optional power control The IP models provide the opportunity to attach one or more power switches. These control the supply to the system(s) and allow the global user to hard reset any system that has suffered a failure.

The IP models can support up to four global users at any one time. All of these may be connected via the IP network port or one may be linked via the modem/ISDN channel.
