The AdderView IP can either connect directly to a single host computer or to
range of hosts via one or more KVM switches.
To connect a host computer or KVM switch
1 Ensure that power is disconnected from the AdderLink IP and the computer
or KVM switch to be connected.
(Note: If it is not possible to switch off devices prior to connection, then
a ‘Hot plug’ procedure is available – see the Hot plugging and mouse
restoration section for more details).
2 Connect the plugs at one end of a KVM cable set to the keyboard, video
and mouse sockets of the computer or KVM switch (for mouse plug
conversion information – see Appendix 7).
