Introduction
WELCOME
Thank you for choosing the AdderView DDX system. This adaptive system makes 
sharing numerous host computers among multiple users straightforward and flexible.

module while each set of peripherals are connected to a DDX-USR module (to form 
Consoles) . 
The various computers and consoles are then linked, via CAT6a or CAT7 cable

Port designations - DDX30
By default the DDX30 switch provides 10 user console ports on its front panel 
and 20 computer ports along its rear panel, however, these designations are not 
fixed. If your installation requires a greater number of computers or has a need 
for more user consoles, you can alter the allocation of these standard ports to 
suit: 
Ports 21 to 23 can be reallocated as computer ports.
Any of the 20 rear 
panel computer...

LOCATIONS
Please consider the following important points when planning the position of the 
AdderView DDX modules:
• If used, position the DDX switch in a central position that serves the host computer 
systems and user modules without exceeding the maximum link lengths. It will also 
require a source of mains power.
• Situate each DDX-USR module close to the peripherals to which it will be\
 connected 
and near to a source of...

CONNECTIONS
Connections do not need to be carried out in the order given within this guide, however, 
where possible connect the power in as a final step. Connections are split into the 
following three areas:
• Computer connections - a DDX-C AM module links to each host computer.
• Switch connections - when used, a DDX switch unit sits at the heart of the system.
• Console connections - the peripherals (keyboard, display, etc .) connect to...
