Configuration
Almost all configuration and operational aspects of the AdderView CATx units
are controlled via on-screen menu displays.
Overall initial configuration
When setting up a new installation, the following stages are recommended:
1 Enable the general ‘Security’ option.
With security disabled (default setting), all users attached to the AdderView
CATx have full and unrestricted access to all computers and all AdderView
CATx settings. In larger installations, you are strongly recommended to
enable security and set up individual user accounts with access privileges.
2 Create an ADMIN (administration) password.
All AdderView CATx units have a fixed 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 profiles, 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 Compensate video signals to account for link cable lengths
The long cable links that are possible between the AdderView CATx unit and
the computers and also to the remote users can affect the quality of the
video images displayed. Use the in-built compensation features to eliminate
any potential video image degradation.
6 Configure the required ‘Setup Options’ and ‘Global Preferences
Use the ADMIN account to determine key AdderView CATx settings and
timing characteristics.
7 Configure the IP settings
AdderView CATx IP models only. IP models possess a further collection of
IP-related configuration options and encryption features that protect the
installation from unauthorised global users - ensure that the IP security
features are enabled before connecting the AdderView CATx IP unit to the
network. The IP settings use the standard ADMIN password.
