Page 3: Introduction
Peripheral connections to each computer system are handled by Computer Access Modules (or CAMs). The long distance link between the CAMs and the common X200 module is made via Category 5, 5e or 6 twisted pair cabling. X200 X200 modules can be used to connect to... -

This distance must be taken into account when planning the cable run from the X200 to the CATx switch. The total distance from any X200 to any CAM must not exceed 300 metres (or less if an X200 without de-skew is used). -

Page 7: Connections.at.the.x200.(Remote).Module
Connections at the X200 (remote) module 1 Place the X200 module adjacent to the remote user location. 2 Attach the video monitor, USB keyboard, USB mouse and speaker connectors to the sockets of the Adder X200 module. From USB mouse and... - Page 8 Switches 2 and 3 determine which two keyboard keys (when pressed in unison) are to be designated as ‘hotkeys’. Hotkeys signal to the X200 module that the next key to be pressed is a special configuration command for the module and is not to be passed to the computer system.

Page 9: Operation
Operation General use In use, the X200 module should be transparent - the system and its peripherals should operate exactly as normal, the only difference being that they are now a long distance apart and two computer systems (or more when used with an AdderView CATx switch) can be viewed from a single set of peripherals. -
Page 10: Special Configuration
Special configuration Configuration You can alter the way that the X200 module operates to suit your requirements. This is done using the Configuration mode and you can affect the following settings: • Password.setting – allows you to lock the remote module to prevent unauthorised system access. -
Page 11: Password.setting
To clear a password (and restore factory default settings) 1 Connect the X200 module to a computer in the same manner as you would to carry out a flash upgrade - see Performing.flash.upgrades. 2 While power is applied, set the X200 upgrade switch SW1 to its ON position. -
Page 12: Hot.plugging.ps/2-Style.connections And.mouse.restoration
Hot plugging PS/2-style connections and mouse restoration For computer systems that use PS/2-style keyboard and mouse connections, it is strongly recommended that you switch off the computer system before attempting to connect it via the CAM. However, if this is not possible then you need to ‘hot plug’... -
Page 13: Video.compensation.(Sharpness.and.brightness)
Video compensation (sharpness and brightness) Using the in-built X200 controls you can adjust the picture sharpness and brightness to improve the remote picture quality. Video compensation is best carried out when viewing high contrast images with vertical edges, such as black lines on a white background. When doing so, if you notice that the screen image is ‘fuzzy’... -
Page 14: Video.skew.adjustment.(X200As.models.only)
Video skew adjustment (X200AS models only) The category 5, 5e and 6 cabling supported by the AdderView CATx consists of four pairs of wires per cable. Three of these pairs are used to convey red, green and blue video signals to the remote video monitor. due to the slight difference in twist rate between these three pairs, the red, green and blue video signals may not arrive at precisely the same time. -
Page 15: Miscellaneous.settings
3 As appropriate, press either the R, G or B keyboard keys to select the appropriate colour channel. Corresponding keyboard indicators will flash rapidly to show which channel is currently selected for adjustment: Num Lock for Red, Caps Lock for Green and Scroll Lock for Blue. -
Page 16: Performing.flash.upgrades
X200 firmware. To perform a flash upgrade 1 Remove power from the X200 module. If one or both CAMs also need to be upgraded, ensure that they are connected to the X200 in the usual manner. 2 On the side of the X200 module, place switch 1 into its ON position. - Page 17 (this may take a few seconds). 10 Change the X200 switch 1 to the OFF position and cycle the power. When the power is re-applied the X200 module and any upgraded CAMs will operate using the new firmware.

Radio Frequency Energy A Category 5 (or better) twisted pair cable must be used to connect the units in order to maintain compliance with radio frequency energy emission regulations and ensure a suitably high level of immunity to electromagnetic disturbances. All other interface cables used with this equipment must be shielded in order to maintain compliance with radio frequency energy emission regulations and ensure a suitably high level of immunity to electromagnetic disturbances. - Page 21 © 2007 Adder Technology Limited All trademarks are acknowledged.
