Computer system (via CAM)

Each computer system is connected to the	LOCAL	GLOBAL
	USER	USER
AdderView CATxIP 1000 unit via a Computer		IP
Access Module (CAM) and standard category 5,
5e or 6 cabling. CAMs are available in various	POWER
formats to suit differing computer system types	IN
and their particular connector styles.	CAM
Each CAM uses Adder Keep Alive technology	COMPUTER	POWER
to ensure that the keyboard and mouse inputs	SYSTEM	SWITCH

to the computer remain active, even when

the particular channel is not selected. This action ensures that there are no connection delays or problems as the port is selected.
