Introduction
AdderLink Infinity transmitter and receiver units allow multiple remote users
to access host computers in a very flexible manner. Such flexibility requires
management and coordination – that is where AIM (AdderLink Infinity Manager)
becomes vital.
AIM is designed to promote the most efficient use of AdderLink Infinity (ALIF)
units by allowing central control over any number of transmitters and receivers.
Using the intuitive AIM web-based interface, one or more administrators can
manage potentially thousands of users who are interacting with an almost
unlimited number of devices.
AdderLink Infinity Management operates from a self-contained compact server
unit that can be situated anywhere within your network:

The AIM server is supplied pre-loaded and is straightforward to deploy, requiring
only a network connection and a power input to begin operation.
All configuration of your AdderLink Infinity transmitters (channels), receivers
and users are performed using the intuitive AIM browser interface via a network
connected computer.
The AIM server front panel with status indicators
The AIM server rear panel. In normal use only the network and power
connectors are used.
The AIM server connects to your network and provides administrative
control over the various AdderLink Infinity transmitters, receivers and their users.
Note: Although the AdderLink Infinity units require Gigabit Ethernet connections, in its
administrative role, the AIM server requires only a 10/100Mbps connection
to the network.
Please see the section Basic steps for a new configuration for assistance
with creating AIM installations.
