Unit Configuration - ADDER AdderLink IP Gold User Manual

Unit configuration

This page provides access
to a selection of both basic
and fundamental settings
for the AdderLink IP Gold.
Keybd Layout
Use the arrow buttons to match the keyboard layout expected by the host
system.
Admin Password
Enter the password that will be used to gain administrator access to the
AdderLink IP Gold. There can only be one admin user and only that user is given
access to the configuration menus. The admin password background will be
red until a reasonably secure password has been entered, although this is only
advisory as any password or no password may be entered.
Unit Name
The name entered here will be displayed on the local menus and the remote
VNC/browser windows.
Hot Keys
Use the left and right arrow keys to select an appropriate hot key sequence for
the locally connected keyboard. This sequence is used in combination with other
keypresses to access the on-screen menus and to change between hosts. The
options are: Ctrl+Alt (default), Ctrl+Shift, Alt+Shift, Alt Gr, Left + Right Alt, Left
Ctrl + Alt or Right Ctrl + Alt.

To get here
1 Use the local keyboard and log on as the 'admin' user.
2 Press (hotkeys may be different).
3 Select 'Configuration'.
4 Select 'Unit configuration'.
Screensaver
Use the left and right arrow keys to select an appropriate period of inactivity on
the local keyboard or mouse before a screensaver is displayed and the user is
logged out. This setting applies to local users only and once the screensaver is
displayed, for security purposes the user is required to log in again. The timeout
period can be selected between 5 minutes and 1 day (24 hours), it cannot be
disabled. Note: The Idle timeout option serves a similar purpose for remote
connections.
Time and Date
Use the left and right arrow keys to select the correct time and date. The time
entry uses the 24 hour clock notation. The internal real time clock will continue
to run for roughly one week without power to the AdderLink IP Gold, after that
it will be lost and require resetting. Use the up and down arrow keys to move
between each of the sections within the time and date entries.
Encryption
Three options are available: Always on, prefer off, prefer on. The one to choose
depends on the specific details of your installation - see
details. The use of encryption imposes a slight performance overhead of roughly 10%
but is highly secure against third party intrusion.
Video Source
Determines the DDC video monitor information that is sent to the host computer. The
host computer's video controller will use this information to determine how it should
alter its output to suit a digital or analogue monitor. The AdderLink IP Gold performs
automatic conversion between both video signal types.
