Local keyboard, video monitor and mouse

A locally connected keyboard, video monitor and mouse are required during the initial configuration. These are also useful during normal use to allow quick local control of any connected host computers.

To connect a local keyboard, video monitor and mouse

1Position a suitable keyboard, video monitor and mouse in the vicinity of the AdderLink IP such that their cables will easily reach.

2Connect the keyboard, video monitor and mouse plugs to the sockets, collectively labelled as ‘KVM CONSOLE’, at the rear of the AdderLink IP.

IP network port

The AdderLink IP provides an autosensing Ethernet IP port that can operate at 10 or 100Mbps, according to the network speed. The AdderLink IP is designed to reside quite easily at any part of your network:

•It can be placed within the local network, behind any firewall/router connections to the Internet, or

•It can be placed externally to the local network, on a separate sub-network or with an open Internet connection.

Wherever in the network the AdderLink IP is situated, you will need to determine certain configuration issues such as address allocation and/or firewall adjustment to allow correct operation. Please refer to Networking issues within the Configuration chapter for more details.

IMPORTANT: When the AdderLink IP is accessible from the public Internet or dial up connection, you must ensure that sufficient security measures are employed.

To connect the IP network port

1Depending upon where in the network the AdderLink IP is being connected, run a category 5e or 6 cable from the appropriate hub or router to the AdderLink IP.

2Connect the plug of the category 5e or 6 cable into the IP port on the front panel of the AdderLink IP.

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.
