Adder Technology 5000 Benutzerhandbuch

When you need to control more than sixteen host 
computers using AdderView CATxIP 5000 units, 
there are two main ways to achieve this:

•  The preferred method is to use multiple 

AdderView CATxIP 5000 units to control 
groups of sixteen hosts and then use the 
ADDER.NET utility to manage the interactions 
of multiple users with those hosts. This 
method is described in the section 

.

•  The alternative method is to cascade 

AdderView CATx 1000 units from the ports of 
the original AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit. Up 
to sixteen hosts can then be linked to each of 
the  secondary AdderView CATx 1000 units. 
The combination of AdderView units can be 
arranged two levels deep forming a tree, or 
cascade arrangement, with computer systems 
situated at either level within that cascade 
tree. 

The limitation of the latter method is that the 
local and global users linking into the AdderView 
CATxIP 5000 unit can all only view one host 
system at a time due to the single pathways 
formed by the connections between the 
AdderView units. 
This section details the configuration and 
operation of a cascade system for completeness.   
Note: It is not possible to cascade two AdderView 
CATxIP 5000 units together because they do not 
have a Remote User Port on their front panels. 
The lower units must always be the non-IP 
AdderView CATx 1000 variants.

The diagram shows how an AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit and 
multiple AdderView CATx 1000 units can be cascaded to two levels. 
Computer systems can be connected at any level. The local or global 
users can access computer systems situated anywhere within the 
cascade tree.
