Opmising your network for AdderLink Innity
S
INCE ITS INTRODUCTION IN 2010, the AdderLink Innity system
(otherwise known as ALIF), has provided new levels of exibility in the
distribution of high performance computing power. The reliable transfer of high
resolution DVI video, audio, RS232 serial and four USB streams across a single run
of network cable is no mean feat; sending all this across a network even more so.
ALIF units are fully compliant with the open Gigabit Ethernet standards,
however, in order to achieve success it is necessary to ensure that the network
is structured and congured appropriately. It’s about maximising throughput,
banishing bottlenecks and eliminating weak links.
This white paper provides an overview of the key elements, suggestions for
success and assistance with potential problems.
