Conguration
Almost all conguration and operational aspects of the AdderView Matrix are
controlled via on-screen menu displays.
Overall initial conguration
When setting up a new AdderView Matrix installation, the following stages are
recommended:
1 Enable the ‘Security’ option within the Conguration menus.
With security disabled (default setting), all users attached to the AdderView
Matrix have full and unrestricted access to all computers and all AdderView
Matrix settings. In larger installations, you are strongly recommended to
enable security and set up individual user accounts with access privileges.
When also using the AdderLink IP, its integral security features provide
protection from unauthorised remote users - ensure that its security features
are also enabled (please see the AdderLink IP user guide for more details).
2 Create an ADMIN (administration) account password.
The AdderView Matrix has a xed user account that cannot be deleted,
named ADMIN. This user account is the only one that is able to make
important system changes. If you intend to use security, then it is important
to allocate a password to the ADMIN account.
3 Create user accounts and allocate access rights.
Use the ADMIN account to add user proles, passwords and access rights
for each of the system users.
4 Provide names for computers.
When numerous computers are attached, you are strongly advised to
provide names for each, to assist with recognition.
5 Congure the required ‘Setup Options’ and ‘Global Preferences’
Use the ADMIN account to determine key AdderView Matrix settings and
timing characteristics.
After all of the above steps are completed, the AdderView Matrix should be fully
congured.
In a hurry?
• If you don’t need security (not recommended), skip
steps 1, 2 and 3.
• If you don’t need computer names, skip step 4
These steps can be completed at a later date.
When used with an AdderLink IP
• Ensure that security is enabled, follow steps 1
and 2.
• Unless a locally connected user is required to access
the computers, you do not need to create user
accounts or provide names for computers - all of
this should be carried out on the AdderLink IP, skip
steps 3 and 4.
• Unless a locally connected user is required to access
the computers, you do not need to congure Setup
Options or Global Preferences, skip step 5.
