Welcome; Access Permissions - ADDER AdderView DDX User Manual

Introduction

WELCOME

Thank you for choosing the AdderView DDX system. This adaptive system makes
sharing numerous host computers among multiple users straightforward and flexible.
Every computer is linked, via its USB and video ports, to a compact DDX-CAM
module while each set of peripherals are connected to a DDX-USR module (to form
Consoles).
The various computers and consoles are then linked, via standard CAT7 cable, to
a central DDX switch. Each user can then, subject to the privileges granted by the
admin, gain quick access to any of the required computers.
An integral part of DDX switches is the DDX Matrix, a browser-based configuration
and management tool that allows one or more remote admin user(s) to monitor
and maintain all aspects of operation.
If required, computers and consoles can be individually
connected in order to take advantage of the DDX extender
properties without the switching.

Access permissions

The DDX switch uses a system of hierarchal Access permissions to mediate between
numerous consoles and multiple computers. Each console is granted the use of up to
four types of access permissions to each computer, most of which influence how other
users can gain simultaneous access to the same computer. The four access permissions,
and their effects on other console users are as follows:
VIEW ONLY SHARED ACCESS
