Adder Technology 5000 User Manual

Each computer system is connected to the 
AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit via a Computer 
Access Module (CAM) and standard category 5, 
5e or 6 cabling. CAMs are available in various 
formats to suit differing computer system types 
and their particular connector styles.
Each CAM uses Adder Keep Alive technology 
to ensure that the keyboard and mouse inputs 
to the computer remain active, even when 
the particular channel is not selected. This action ensures that there are no 
connection delays or problems as the port is selected.  

1  Ensure that power is disconnected from the AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit 

and the system to be connected. 

2  Locate the required CAM (there are three types available) and attach its 

video, keyboard and mouse (PS/2-style, USB or Sun) to the relevant sockets 
on the computer system. 

3  Lay a suitable length of category 5, 5e or 6 cabling between the computer 

system and the AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit. The maximum length of the 
cable is 10 m (32 feet).

4  Attach the connector of the cable 

run to the socket of the CAM.

5  At the other end of the cable run, attach the cable connector to one of the 

sockets labelled 

COMPUTER CONNECTIONS

 on the rear panel of the AdderView 

CATxIP 5000 unit.

Note: Each CAM is 
specifically shaped so 
that it can be secured 
using a cable tie around 
its middle. In this way, 
two CAMs can also be 
neatly joined together, 
back-to-back.
