Computer system (via CAM)
Each computer system is connected to the 
AdderView CATx 1000 unit via a Computer 
Access Module (CAM) and standard category 5, 
5e or 6 cabling. CAMs are available in various 
formats to suit differing computer system types 
and their particular connector styles.
Each CAM uses Adder Keep Alive technology 
to ensure that the keyboard and mouse inputs 
to the computer remain active, even when

Power in connection
The AdderView CATx 1000 unit is supplied 
with a standard 10W power adapter. There 
is no on/off switch on the unit, so operation 
begins as soon as a power adapter is 
connected. 2 
Connect the IEC connector of the supplied country-specific power lead \�to 
the socket of the power adapter.
3  Connect the power lead to a nearby main supply socket.
Note: Both the AdderView CATx...

Power control port
The options port of the AdderView CATx 
1000 can be used to connect to one or more 
optional power control units. This allows you 
to control the mains power being supplied 
to the connected computer(s) so that an 
authorised user can, if necessary, perform 
a complete remote cold reboot...

Cascading multiple units
The AdderView CATx 1000 units 
support up to eight or sixteen 
directly connected computer 
systems, however, this is by 
no means the limit. Instead of 
connecting computers to every 
output port, you can instead link 
other AdderView CATx 1000 
units. Thus each output of the 
original AdderView CATx 1000 
unit can link through to many 
more computers connected to the 
secondary units.
The combination of...

3 Connect the other end of the cascade 
link cable to the remote user RJ45 
socket on the front panel of the 
lower unit. 
4  Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the cascade 
links between each AdderView 
CATx 1000 unit.
Once the AdderView CATx 1000 
units and computers have been 
connected, you can edit their 
names to make it much 
easier to locate them. 
See the To create/
edit computer 
names section in

chapter for...

Remote switching control
The port switching functions of the AdderView CATx 1000 
units can be remotely controlled by an RS232 link to the 
OPTIONS port on the rear panel.
The sending device must use the following RS232 
communication settings: 
Baud rate:  19200 bps
 
Data bits:  8
 
Parity:  None
 
Stop bits:  1
No handshaking is implemented, however, valid command characters will be

Configuration
Almost all configuration and operational aspects of the AdderView CATx 1000 
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), a local or remote user attach\�ed 
to the AdderView CATx 1000 will have full and unrestricted access to...
