Part 2 – Remote configuration

The second part of the configuration requires you to log into the AdderLink IP from a system via either a network connection or a dial-up connection (via modem or ISDN). In either case there are two types of access applications that you can use:

•The VNC viewer – a small application supplied on the CD-ROM or downloadable from the Adder and RealVNC websites or even downloadable from the AdderLink IP itself.

or

•A standard browser that supports Java – As soon as a web browser makes contact, the AdderLink IP downloads a Java application to it. This allows a viewer window to be opened and operation to commence just as it would with the VNC viewer application.

To perform the remote configuration

1Use either the VNC viewer or a standard web browser to make remote contact with the AdderLink IP – see Connecting to the AdderLink IP’ for more details.

2If the username entry is not blanked out, enter ‘admin’. Then enter the

password that was set during the local configuration stage (if no password was set, then just press ). Once logged in, the AdderLink IP will show the video output from the host system (if one is connected), or otherwise a ‘No Signal’ message.

3Click the Configure button in the top right hand corner of the window to display the configuration menu ò

Shaded items signify options that are not available at the local configuration stage.

User accounts Allows you to create and manage up to sixteen separate user accounts, each with separate access permissions.

Unit configuration Allows you to alter both basic and fundamental settings within the AdderLink IP.

Network configuration Here you can alter any of the existing network settings plus you can take advantage of the IP access control feature that lets you to specifically include or exclude certain addresses or networks.

Serial port configuration Lets you setup or alter the details concerning the modem and power control serial ports.

Host configuration Allows you to configure user access, hot key switching and power control codes for up to 32 host systems that may be connected to the AdderLink IP via KVM switch units.

Logging and status Provides various details about the user activity on the AdderLink IP.

For more information about each menu option, please see Appendix 5

-Remote configuration menus in the ‘Further information’ chapter.

Many of the options within the configuration menu duplicate those that were set (or are available) in the local configuration. However, there are numerous other settings that are only available here.

AdderLink IP specifications

Adder Technology's AdderLink IP is a cutting-edge solution designed to extend and manage KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) signals over IP networks. This innovative technology facilitates the remote access and control of computers and servers, making it an essential tool for organizations that require efficient management of their IT resources.

One of the main features of AdderLink IP is its ability to transmit high-resolution video signals with minimal latency. Supporting resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz, it ensures that users experience clarity and responsiveness that is comparable to direct connections. This capability is crucial for industries such as broadcasting, media production, and any environment where graphics-intensive applications are commonplace.

The AdderLink IP employs advanced digitization techniques to ensure high-quality video transmission over standard IP networks. Its use of H.264 video compression allows for efficient bandwidth usage while maintaining image integrity. With this feature, users can easily adapt to various network conditions without compromising performance.

Another standout characteristic is the support for real-time remote access through a web browser, allowing users to connect to their systems from virtually anywhere in the world. Whether for troubleshooting, maintenance, or system management, the AdderLink IP empowers IT professionals with the flexibility they need to perform their duties effectively. The built-in security protocols ensure that access is both secure and reliable.

Moreover, AdderLink IP is designed to be user-friendly. Configuration and management can be performed via an intuitive web interface, simplifying the setup process for users of all technical skill levels. Compatibility with a range of operating systems and devices further enhances its versatility.

Furthermore, the system supports multi-user access, enabling multiple operators to connect to the same devices simultaneously without conflicts. This functionality is particularly useful in collaborative environments where teams need concurrent access to critical systems.

In summary, Adder Technology's AdderLink IP stands out as a robust solution for KVM over IP needs. With its high-quality video transmission, real-time remote access, ease of use, and enhanced security features, it enables organizations to effectively manage their IT infrastructure, thereby boosting productivity and operational efficiency. As the demand for remote access increases, AdderLink IP remains a pivotal component in the evolution of IT management solutions.
