AdderLink IP is fully reconfigurable via flash upgrade

 to determine the current firmware version of the 

AdderLink IP unit.

2  Visit the Adder website, locate the downloads section and select an 

AdderLink IP firmware revision that is later than the one currently installed.

3  Power down the AdderLink IP unit. At the rear of the unit, adjacent to the 

power input socket, click mini switch 1 to its ON (down) position.

4  Re-apply power to the AdderLink IP. On the locally connected monitor you 

should see a Maintenance menu:

   The Maintenance menu should display the current network address 

of the AdderLink IP. 

•  If the current network address is incorrect then select 

the ‘Configure network’ option to change it:

5  Use the web browser (not the VNC viewer) on the previously used remote 

system, connect to the network address shown in the local Maintenance 
menu and log on as the admin user. 

6  Follow the on screen instructions to upload the firmware file (previously 

obtained from the Adder site) to the AdderLink IP. 

7  When the upload is complete and confirmed on screen, log off the remote 

system and then power down the AdderLink IP.

8  At the rear of the unit, return the mini switch 1 to its OFF position and then 

re-apply power.        

 

Media Access Control address – this is 
the unique and unchangeable code that 
was hard coded within your AdderLink 
IP unit when it was built. It consists of six 
2-digit hexadecimal (base 16) numbers 
separated by colons. A section of the 
MAC address identifies Adder Technology 
as the manufacturer, while the remainder 
is effectively the unique electronic serial 
number of your particular unit.  

When this option is selected, your 
AdderLink IP will attempt to locate a 
DHCP server on the network. If such a 
server is located, it will 

 to the AdderLink IP: an IP address, 

an IP network mask (also known as a 
Subnet mask) and a Gateway address.

This is the identity of the AdderLink 
IP within a network. It can either 
be entered manually or configured 
automatically using the DHCP option. 
When the DHCP option is enabled, this 
entry is greyed out.

Also often called the ‘subnet-mask’, this 
value is used alongside the IP address 
to help define a smaller collection (or 
subnet) of devices on a network. In 
this way a distinction is made between 
locally connected devices and ones that 
are reachable elsewhere, such as on the 
wider Internet.

This is the address of the device that 
links the local network (to which the 
AdderLink IP is connected) to another 
network such as the Internet. Usually 
this is a network switch or router and 
it will be used whenever a device to be 
contacted lies outside the local network.
