Introduction

Thank you for choosing the AdderLink IP from Adder Technology. This intelligent product delivers straightforward setup, secure operation and the ability to fully control one or more computers from almost anywhere.

Four simultaneous remote users

AdderLink IP can support four remote 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.

Remote control via a network connection is nothing new and software-only solutions to facilitate this are commonplace. However, they all present two major drawbacks: a) Special software must be used on all of the computers involved, especially the host, and b) if that host ceases to operate, the remote user is powerless to intervene.

This port offers a connection option that can be used alongside, or instead of, the IP network link. It also offers a backup route should the network fail.

The console port allows control of the system(s) by a keyboard, video monitor and mouse connected directly to the AdderLink IP.

AdderLink IP is different and requires only the remote system(s) to run a small utility. The host system can run its usual operating system completely unchanged and needs only to be connected (via its keyboard, video and mouse ports) to the compact AdderLink IP box.

It is this external connection to the AdderLink IP that keeps the remote user in control. Even in the midst of a system crash, the remote user can still view the

The IP port allows direct connection to an Ethernet-based local network and from there onto the wider Internet, as required.

Alternatively, the robust AdderLink IP security system will allow direct connection to the outside world.

host’s condition as if sitting next to it. Additionally, when the power switch option is employed, a host system can be remotely rebooted, no matter how badly it has locked-up.

AdderLink IP really starts to excel when it is hooked to a suitable KVM switch. Then its robust, secure and adaptable operation is available across a multitude of systems.

One host or many

On its own, the AdderLink IP provides remote access to one host computer system. However, when linked to a suitable KVM switch, the remote user(s) can easily control a multitude of systems.

Optional power control AdderLink IP provides the opportunity to attach one or more power switches. These control the supply to the host system(s) and allow the remote user to hard reset any system that has suffered a failure.

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.
