Setup Options
Setup options are available only to the 
Admin user and consist of key settings that 
are normally made only during the initial 
installation stage.
Hotkeys
Settings: CRTL+ALT, CTRL+SHIFT, ALT+SHIFT, ALT GR, L+R ALT, L CTRL+ALT,  
R CTRL+ALT
The keyboard hotkeys are special combinations of keys that, when used together 
with certain keyboard “command keys”, perform special AdderView CATx 
1000 functions. For example, pressing the hotkeys together with the “M” key 
will cause the on-screen menu to be displayed on your monitor. Other hotkey 
combinations allow you to query which computer you are connected to and 
to move the on-screen menu around the screen. You can also use the hotkeys 
together with the port number to select a particular connected computer.
Automatic Logout
Settings: DISABLED, ENABLED
The AdderView CATx 1000 enables you to restrict access to your computers 
on a login basis. If a user forgets to logout when they have finished accessing 
the AdderView CATx 1000 then the user console may unintentionally be left 
with full access to all the computers. The AdderView CATx 1000 can be set to 
automatically logout unattended user consoles when the screen saver kicks in. 
This reduces the risk of security problems by preventing user consoles remaining 
in a permanent “logged-in” state when there is no keyboard or mouse activity. 
The automatic logout feature is only enabled when the screen saver feature is 
active (i.e. not disabled).
Audio
Settings: ENABLED, DISABLED
Allows you to enable and disable the audio capabilities of the AdderView CATx 
1000 unit. 
Add Computers
Settings: AUTO, MANUAL
Each time the master switch within a KVM cascade is power cycled, it checks for 
newly added computers. This option allows you to determine whether such new 
computers are automatically added to the computer list or whether you would 
prefer to update the list manually.

Security
Settings: DISABLED, ENABLED
With security disabled there is no requirement for users to log-in to the system. 
All users have full access to all the connected computers and full administration 
rights. With security enabled, users are required to log-in to the AdderView 
CATx 1000. Each user is allocated access rights to computers by the system 
administrator and they are only able to see the computers that they have access 
to on their on-screen menu.
Language
Settings: ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, SWEDISH
This option specifies the language that is used for the on-screen menu and the 
keyboard layout that is assumed for the keyboard. When the French option is 
selected the keyboard is assumed to have an AZERTY format. When the English, 
German and Swedish options are selected the keyboard is assumed to have a 
QWERTY format. The new language settings are enabled when you quit from 
the SETUP OPTIONS menu. The language option only affects the way that the 
AdderView CATx 1000 interprets the keyboard keys, it does not affect the way 
that the computers interpret the keyboard. It is advisable to avoid setting a 
language that you do not understand as all the menus will change to use the 
new language and you may have difficulty reselecting your original language.
