1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AdderLink extender. Your AdderLink is designed to transfer keyboard, video, mouse and RS232 signals up to 200 metres over Category 5 twisted pair cable. The AdderLink system consists of a transmitter (XL) and a receiver (XR) unit that are connected together by a twisted pair cable. The XR unit connects to your keyboard, monitor and mouse and the XL unit connects to the computer system that is to be controlled.
The AdderLink extender is supplied in both standard (AdderLink) and enhanced (AdderLink Gold) formats. In addition to the features supported by the AdderLink, the AdderLink Gold system supports stereo audio and microphone signals and extra connectivity options. This additional connectivity enables a second keyboard/monitor/mouse set to be connected to the XL unit and an additional computer system to be connected to the XR unit.
