Remote user (via X100/X200 extender)

Up to four users can be placed a maximum of 300 metres (980 feet) from the AdderView CATx unit. Remote users are connected via an Adder X100 or X200 extender module and suitable category 5,

5e or 6 cabling (with no crossover). The AdderView CATx IP models provide two remote user ports.

Cable lengths for remote user locations

The maximum length of cable between a remote user and the AdderView CATx unit can be up to 300 metres (980 feet). However, bear in mind that the overall distance between any remote user and any computer system must not exceed 300 metres (980 feet).

In situations where any computer system will be placed a significant distance from the AdderView CATx unit, ensure that the distance to any remote user is similarly less than 300 metres (980 feet).

To connect a remote user

1Place an Adder X100 or X200 extender unit adjacent to the remote user location.

2Attach the video monitor,

keyboard, mouse, power adapter (and speaker) connectors to the sockets of the Adder

X100 or X200 module.

6Where necessary, use the in-built video compensation feature of the Adder X100/X200 module to eliminate any effects caused by the cable run. However, ensure that the links between the computers and the AdderView CATx have been compensated first. See remote user video compensation for details.
