Connections

Installation of the AdderLink IP involves a number of basic connections to some or all of the following items:

Host computer or KVM switch ð

Local keyboard, video and mouse

IP network port

Modem/ISDN port

Power input

Power control port

Host computer or KVM switch

The AdderView IP can either connect directly to a single host computer or to range of hosts via one or more KVM switches.

To connect a host computer or KVM switch

1Ensure that power is disconnected from the AdderLink IP and the computer or KVM switch to be connected.

(Note: If it is not possible to switch off devices prior to connection, then a ‘Hot plug’ procedure is available – see the Hot plugging and mouse restoration section for more details).

2Connect the plugs at one end of a KVM cable set to the keyboard, video and mouse sockets of the computer or KVM switch (for mouse plug conversion information – see Appendix 7).

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.
