switched and accessed.
Local user port
Connect a USB keyboard and mouse, plus a video monitor to these
connectors. These allow you to perform the initial configuration
of the AdderView CATxIP 5000. Additionally, you can use these
to locally control the connected computer(s). Can also be used to
cascade (via a CAM) to another AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit.
Computer ports
Each computer connects to one of these ports
via standard category 5, 5e or 6 cabling. At the
other end of the cabling a CAM (Computer Access
Module) is used to provide the necessary keyboard,
video and mouse (or RS-232 serial) connections.
Power input
The power supply
connects here.
IP network port
The port by which global users are linked to the
AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit. This intelligent
Ethernet port can automatically sense whether
it is attached to a 10Mb or 100Mb network.
Indicators
These six indicators clearly show the key aspects of operation:
•LOC Keyboard or mouse data are being received from the local console.
•REM Keyboard or mouse data are being received from the remote console.
•VNC Indicates that a global user is connected and active.
•100 Indicates the Ethernet network speed (10/100Mbs).
•LNK Indicates that a network link is present.
•PWR Indicates that power is present.
