Configuration
Almost all configuration and operational aspects of the AdderView CATxIP 5000
unit are controlled via on-screen menu displays.

Overall initial configuration

When setting up a new installation, the following stages are recommended:
1 Enable the general ‘Security’ option.
With security disabled (default setting), a local or remote user attached to
the AdderView CATxIP 5000 will have full and unrestricted access to all
computers and all AdderView CATxIP 5000 settings. In larger installations,
you are strongly recommended to enable security and set up individual user
accounts with access privileges.
2 Create an ADMIN (administration) password.
All AdderView CATxIP 5000 units have a fixed user account that cannot be
deleted or renamed, called ADMIN. If you intend to use security, then it is
important to allocate a password to the ADMIN account.
3 Create user accounts and allocate access rights.
Use the ADMIN account to add user profiles, passwords and access rights
for each of the system users.
4 Provide names for computers.
When numerous computers are attached, you are strongly advised to
provide names for each, to assist with recognition.
5 Configure the required ‘Setup Options’ and ‘Global Preferences’
Use the ADMIN account to determine key AdderView CATxIP 5000 settings
and timing characteristics.
