Introduction
WELCOME
Thank you for choosing the AdderLink XDIP extender nodes. At their simplest,
AdderLink XDIPs are high resolution, low latency digital KVM extenders which will
operate just as easily across a direct 100 meter CATx connection as they will across
your standard 1GbE local network. However, there’s much more to them than that.

transmitters
Transmitter or receiver? Your call
Every XDIP node arrives in Start of Life
(SoL) mode: it’s up to you to choose
whether it becomes a transmitter or
a receiver. This ensures that your small
stock of nodes can efciently meet your
current requirements - and then be easily
redistributed, in any order, to satisfy future
issues too.
Many hosts, one console
XDIPs can form what might be termed
a Distributed KVM switch, where you
authorize a single XDIP receiver to access
up to eight separate XDIP transmitters
and their connected PC host systems:
Multiple consoles, one host
Alternatively, a different grouping of XDIPs
can form a ‘KVM Sharer’ to allow up to
eight receivers to access and control the
resources of a single PC host system:
All HD video welcome
HDMI is the native video port on each
node, however, using suitable third party
converters you can connect DVI, dual-
mode DisplayPort (DP++) or VGA signals
at either end of the links:
Feed through for exibility
Every XDIP node features a Feed through
port. This allows you to add a local
console that can access both nearby
and distant resources. When the local
console is placed on an XDIP receiver,
it will operate as its own KVM switch.
Alternatively, when the local console is
attached to an XDIP transmitter, it will
also act as a video splitter:
Power to perform: POE or adapter
Efciency is key to XDIP operation,
sufciently so that each node can
comfortably function using only the Power
over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities of your
network. Where that’s not an option, we
also supply optional power adapters for
local mains operation.
A combined application of the Feed through
and KVM sharer features could be used, for
instance, to serve a lecture theater:
