Adder Technology 1000 Manuel D’Utilisation

The AdderView CATx 1000 can store up to 256 computer names and 5 sets 
of user access rights in addition to the ADMIN user account. Particularly in 
cascaded configurations, manually re-entering all computer names, port 
numbers and access rights can be a lengthy process. Therefore, the AdderView 
CATx 1000 provides a method to save and, if required, restore configuration 
settings using its serial port. Further to this, the saved file can be opened 
and edited within a text editor or spreadsheet and then restored back to the 
AdderView CATx 1000 – a useful way to make multiple setup changes. 
Note: You must be logged-in as the ADMIN user for this procedure.
