Conﬁguration

Initial conﬁguration

ALIF units are designed to be as ﬂexible as possible and this principle extends

also to their conﬁguration.

Direct linking

Where an ALIF TX and an ALIF RX are directly linked to each other, no

conﬁguration action is required, provided that they have their factory default

settings in place. If the standard settings have been changed in a previous

installation, you merely need to perform a factory reset on each unit.

Networked linking

Where ALIF units are connected via networked links, you can either conﬁgure

them individually, or conﬁgure them collectively using an AIM server:

• Conﬁguring networked ALIF units individually - You need to specify the

network addresses of the ALIF units so that they can locate each other. This

is done by running the AdderLink Inﬁnity browser-based conﬁguration

utility on a computer system linked to the same network as the ALIF units.

• Conﬁguring ALIF units collectively - The AdderLink Inﬁnity Management

(AIM) server allows you to conﬁgure, control and coordinate any number of

ALIF transmitters and receivers from a single application.

units that you wish to locate and control are set to their factory default

settings.OtherwisetheywillnotbelocatedbytheAIMserver.Ifnecessary,

perform a factory reset on each ALIF unit.

Manual factory reset

A factory reset returns an ALIF TX or RX unit to its default conﬁguration. You

can perform factory resets using the AdderLink Inﬁnity browser-based

conﬁguration utility or by using this direct manual method.

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.

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.
