Introduction
Thank you for choosing the NLS CAT5-A2 product line.
NLS has integrated the AdderView CATxIP 5000 from
Adder Technology into our product as it’s internal KVM
switch. This compact unit allows one local user plus
four global users (located anywhere that has a network/
internet connection) to view and take full control of
multiple host computer systems.
Each global user simply requires a Real VNC client
application which is supplied on CD and can also be
downloaded from various locations, even from the
AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit itself. Alternatively, the
unit can quickly serve a Java applet to a global user,
requiring only a standard internet browser to operate.
Like the other models within the highly successful
AdderView CATx family, this unit takes full advantage of
category 5, 5e or 6 structured cabling to provide flexible
installation and configuration. Every connected computer
is linked by up to ten metres of standard CATx cable and
one of five types of CAM (Computer Access Module)
according to the port arrangements on each computer.
The AdderView CATxIP 5000 can directly support up to
sixteen computers, however, this total can be increased
to a maximum of 256 by adding AdderView CATx 1000
units in cascade to provide a much larger network of
controlled computers. All AdderView CATx models
provide full enterprise level security to restrict access to
authorised personnel.
Through the use of Console CAMs (such as the CATX-USB
or CATX-PS2) the AdderView CATxIP 5000 also allows
global users to make console connections to one or more
specialist servers or network devices; thus extending the
flexibility of the remote management facilities available.
Optional power switch control allows you to remotely
perform a hard reset on any host system, no matter
how badly it may have locked up.
Many computers
Each AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit can directly support sixteen computer
systems.
Each host system is linked using a Computer Access Module (CAM) and
category 5, 5e or 6 cabling to a maximum distance of 10m (32 ft) from
the AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit.
Optional power control
You have the opportunity
to attach one or more
power switches. These
control the supply to
the system(s) and allow
a remote user to hard
reset any system that has
suffered a failure.
Local user
One user can
be connected
directly to the
AdderView
CATxIP 5000.
The local user
has the same
abilities and
status as the
global users.
Global users
The unit can
support up to
four global users
at any one time.
Each user can
link to any host
computer for
which they have
permission.
CAM formats
The CAMs are available in different formats to
support all common types of systems, which
can easily be mixed within a multi-format
configuration. Console CAMs use a serial
connection only and link to specialist devices.
IP network/Internet
The IP port allows direct
connection to an Ethernet-
based local network and
from there onto the wider
Internet.
Alternatively, the robust
AdderView CATxIP 5000
security system will allow
direct connection to the
outside world.
ADDER.NET keeping control
For larger installations, the ADDER.NET application
manages your hosts, devices and users to enable quick
configuration and secure, flexible operation. A copy is
included with every AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit.
