ADDER AdderLink XDIP Quick Start Manual

Choosing a channel...
From your receiver, you can switch between a locally connected computer (if present) and any number
of linked transmitters in two main ways:
...using the channel list
The channel list shows all of your switching
options:
1 If the channel list is not already displayed,
press and hold the CTRL and ALT keys and
then press C
Ü
2 Click on the required channel (or use the
up/down arrow keys and Enter) to connect.

...using hotkeys

Hotkeys offer the quickest way to switch between channels:
1 Press and hold the CTRL and ALT keys and then press the number for the required channel, e.g. 0
for the locally connected computer, 1 for the first transmitter in the list, 2 for the second, etc.

Restoring an XDIP node
In order to obtain the full benefit of the configuration wizard when creating a new installation, it may
be necessary to restore the default settings to your XDIP nodes. This can be done in two ways:
• [Receivers only] Display the channel list and then click the
password and then choose the Software Upgrade page. Click the Restore button.
• Use a narrow implement (such as a straightened out paper clip) to press and hold the recessed reset
button on the front panel (while power is applied) for fourteen seconds. Note: The reset button is
within the hole to the left of the USB socket. The front panel indicators will flash and then the Recovery
page will be displayed. Click the Restore button.
