Welcome - ADDER AdderLink Infinity 100T User Manual

Introduction

WELCOME

Thank you for choosing the AdderLink Infinity (aka ALIF) family of high capacity digital
extenders/switches. By encoding high quality DVI video, digital audio and USB data into
Internet Protocol (IP) messages, ALIF units offer flexible ways to link peripherals and
systems via standard networks.
This guide covers the ALIF100T unit, a highly compact dongle which can be attached
to its host computer and transfer single link DVI video and USB signals across your
network.
One-to-one configuration
The simplest configuration links one RX unit to a single TX unit, either by a direct link or over much
greater distances via a high speed network.
ALIF100T
One-to-many configuration
Using multicast techniques, an unlimited number
of receivers* can receive video and audio data
streams from a single TX unit.
Gigabit
ALIF100T
Ethernet
* A maximum of thirteen concurrent USB inputs (via
multiple RX units) are permitted to a single TX unit.
ALIF and A.I.M.
Where multiple ALIF units are used on a network, we have developed the AdderLink
Infinity Management (A.I.M.) server to allow comprehensive and secure central
control of all transmitters, receivers and users.
When using an A.I.M. server to configure ALIF units, it is vital that all ALIF units that
you wish to locate and control are set to their factory default settings. Otherwise
they will not be located by the A.I.M. server. If necessary, perform a
each ALIF unit.
