Introduction; Welcome - ADDER AdderView CATxIP 5000 User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the AdderView CATxIP 5000
from Adder Technology. This compact unit allows one
local user plus four global users (located anywhere that
has a network/internet connection) to view and take
full control of multiple host computer systems.
Each global user simply requires a Real VNC client
application which is supplied on CD and can also be
downloaded from various locations, even from the
AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit itself. Alternatively, the
unit can quickly serve a Java applet to a global user,
requiring only a standard internet browser to operate.

CAM formats
The CAMs are available in different formats to
support all common types of systems, which
can easily be mixed within a multi-format
configuration. Console CAMs use a serial
connection only and link to specialist devices.
Like the other models within the highly successful
AdderView CATx family, this unit takes full advantage of
category 5, 5e or 6 structured cabling to provide flexible
installation and configuration. Every connected computer
is linked by up to ten metres of standard CATx cable and
one of five types of CAM (Computer Access Module)
according to the port arrangements on each computer.
The AdderView CATxIP 5000 can directly support up to
sixteen computers, however, this total can be increased
to a maximum of 256 by adding other AdderView
units in cascade to provide a much larger network of

controlled computers. All AdderView CATx models
provide full enterprise level security to restrict access to
authorised personnel.
Through the use of Console CAMs the AdderView
CATxIP 5000 also allows global users to make console
connections to one or more specialist servers or
network devices; thus extending the flexibility of the
remote management facilities available.
Optional power switch control allows you to remotely
perform a hard reset on any host system, no matter
how badly it may have locked up.
