Adder Technology 1000 manual Logging in and out, Selecting cascaded computers

Logging in and out

The AdderView CATx 1000 features a straightforward security system that helps to prevent unauthorised access to some, or all connected computers.

If the security option has been selected by your administrator then you will be asked to enter a User Name and Password when you first access a user port. When you have finished using the computer, it is then good practice to logout, forcing any other users to authenticate themselves prior to use.

Note: If the security option has not been enabled then no login is required.

Selecting cascaded computers

The AdderView CATx 1000 is not limited to sharing just eight or sixteen computers. By joining numerous AdderView CATx 1000 products together in a tree-like or cascade arrangement, it is possible for each user port to view many more computers. Although you can use exactly the same selection methods to choose any computer, you are strongly recommended to use the on screen menu method for the following reasons:

•The on screen menu – this method displays the names of each computer in

alphabetical order and also allows you to search for them by name, press

– a useful feature in a long list. This really is the best way to access a large number of computers.

•The mouse method – this method is fine for small numbers of computers but can take too long to reach the required computer in an extensive configuration.

•The hotkey method – depending on their position within the connection structure, each computer can have an address up to four digits long which can be difficult to remember and laborious to type.
