ALIF3000 CONFIGURATION
ALIF3000 units depend upon ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM) for almost all of
their configuration. As a new ALIF3000 unit is added to a network it must be in its
factory default mode so that AIM can engage with it and begin managing its resources. If
an ALIF3000 is not in factory default mode, use the procedure shown right to reset it.
Note: When first powered on and booting up, the indicators and screen of the ALIF3000 unit will
not respond for roughly 40 seconds.
AIM configures all ports on the ALIF3000 except for the RJ45 network port (labeled
‘3’) on the rear panel. This port allows connection to a network separate from the main
KVM/VM links.
Please refer to:
•
Creating an RDP session
in this guide for a walkthrough example,
•
The ADDERLink INFINITY Manager user guide (available from
) for details
about AIM configuration.
Performing a manual factory reset
A factory reset returns ALIF3000 unit to its default
configuration.
To perform a manual factory reset
1 Power on the ALIF3000 unit.
2 Press-and-hold the button located next to the front
panel OLED screen for 10 seconds until the indicator
turns blue and the OLED screen shows the message:
In factory reset mode
3 You can now either:
•
Return to normal operation without resetting:
Press the button next to the OLED screen again.
•
Continue with the factory reset: Use a long narrow
implement (e.g. a straightened-out paper clip) to
press-and-release the recessed power button on
the front panel to power it off. Wait ten seconds
and press the button again to power on the unit.
4 Once the factory reset has been carried out the unit
should now be ready for discovery by an AIM server.

The recessed power button
On the left hand side of the ALIF3000 front panel is a
recessed power button which has a couple of uses:
•
During a factory reset, this button is used to
confirm the action, see right.
•
In normal operation, this button can be used to
initiate a controlled shut down of the unit. Once
shut down in that manner, another press of the
button will boot the unit again without having to
cycle the power input.
Note: Whenever the unit is first
powered on, it will start as normal, it is not necessary to
press this button at power on.
The recessed power button is accessible using a long
narrow implement (e.g. a straightened-out paper
clip). Its location is similar to the recessed buttons
on other ALIF units, however, its function is slightly
different.
