Adder Technology AdderLink IP Manuel D’Utilisation

This page provides access to a selection of both basic and fundamental settings 
for the AdderLink IP. Many of the settings displayed here are also accessible 
through the on-screen menu on the locally attached keyboard, mouse and 
monitor.

Unit name
The name entered here will be displayed on the local menus and the remote 
VNC/browser windows.

Local hot key sequence
Use the arrow buttons to select an appropriate hot key sequence for the locally 
connected keyboard. This sequence is used in combination with other keypresses 
to access the on-screen menus and to change between hosts. The options are: 
Ctrl+Alt (default), Ctrl+Shift, Alt+Shift, Alt Gr, Left  + Right Alt, Left Ctrl + Alt or 
Right Ctrl + Alt. 

Screensaver timeout
Use the arrow keys to select an appropriate period of inactivity before a 
screensaver is displayed and the user is logged out. This setting applies to local 
users only and once the screensaver is displayed, for security purposes the user is 
required to log in again. The timeout period can be selected between 5 minutes 
and 1 day (24 hours), it cannot be disabled.

Time and date
Use the arrow keys to select the correct time and date. The time entry uses the 
24 hour clock notation. The internal real time clock will continue to run for 
roughly one week without power to the AdderLink IP, after that it will be lost 
and require resetting.

Encryption
Three options are available: Always on, prefer off, prefer on. The one to choose 
depends on the specific details of your installation - see 

 for 

details. The use of encryption imposes a slight performance overhead of roughly 10% 
but is highly secure against third party intrusion.
