Computer System (Via Cam) - ADDER AdderView CATxIP 5000 User Manual

Computer system (via CAM)

Each computer system is connected to the
AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit via a Computer
Access Module (CAM) and standard category 5,
5e or 6 cabling. CAMs are available in various
formats to suit differing computer system types
and their particular connector styles.
Each KVM CAM uses Adder Keep Alive
technology to ensure that the keyboard and
mouse inputs to the computer remain active,
even when the particular channel is not selected. This action ensures that there
are no connection delays or problems as the port is selected.
To connect a computer system
1 Ensure that power is disconnected from the AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit
and the system to be connected.
2 Locate the required CAM (there are four types available) and attach its
connectors to the relevant sockets on the computer system.
A range of different
connector combinations
are made available
across the four CAM
formats
3 Lay a suitable length of category 5, 5e or 6 cabling between the computer
system and the AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit. The maximum length of the
cable is 10 m (32 feet).
