Conguration menus
The conguration menus allow you to determine many aspects of the
AdderView CATx capabilities. From here you can:

• Provide names for all connected computers to allow quick recognition,
• Set individual and global settings for users,
• Run various functions, such as mouse restore operation,
• Save and load AdderView CATx conguration settings, and more.

security features disabled, which means that any attached users

settings. You are strongly recommended to enable the ‘Security’
feature and set an access password for the ADMIN account.
To access the conguration menu (global users)
Once the IP settings have been made (and the AdderView CATx IP unit
is network connected), global users can access the conguration menu
using a different method.

remote contact with the AdderView CATx IP – see Global user
access for more details.

login username. Then enter the admin password (if no password is
set, then just press ). Once logged in, the AdderView CATx IP will
show the video output from the host system (if one is connected), or
otherwise a ‘No Signal’ message.
3 Click the ‘Controls’ button and select the ‘KVM Switch menu’
option. All options appropriate to the entered username will be
