Adding AdderLink Infinity units

When new ALIF transmitters and receivers are added to a network, they are
designed to automatically announce themselves* to the AIM server. Once the
AIM server receives their announcement(s), the ALIF units will be added to
the administrator's view of the Dashboard. From here you can then begin to
configure each new ALIF unit.
* ALIF units can be configured either from their own browser-based
configuration utility or via the AIM server. Once an ALIF unit has been
configured in one way, it cannot be reconfigured using the other method
without undergoing a factory reset. This policy is in place to help prevent
accidental overwriting of configurations. It also means that once an ALIF unit has
been locally configured, it will not announce itself to the AIM server upon being
added to a network. Please see right for details about resetting an ALIF unit.

If an ALIF unit is not located

There are several reasons why an ALIF unit might not be located by AIM:
• The ALIF unit has been locally configured or is otherwise not using its factory
default setting. Try performing a factory reset on an ALIF that is not being
located.
• The ALIF unit is not located in the same ethernet segment as the AIM server.
Double check connections and move units where necessary, so that all
reside within the same ethernet segment.
• There is a potential cabling problem between the ALIF and AIM units. Check
and where necessary, replace faulty cables.

AdderLink Infinity manual factory reset

Where a previously configured ALIF unit is being added to a network for
control by an AIM server, you can use this method to reset the unit to its
default configuration.
To perform a manual factory reset
1 Remove power from the ALIF unit.
2 Use a narrow implement (e.g. a straightened-out paper clip) to press-and-
hold the recessed reset button on the front panel. With the reset button
still pressed, re-apply power to the unit and then release the reset button.

while powering on the unit
After roughly eight seconds, when the factory reset has completed, five
of the front panel indicators will flash for a period of three seconds to
indicate a successful reset operation.
