ADDER ADDERLink INFINITY 1100 User manual

Welcome
This quick start guide covers some of the key points of the ADDERLink™ INFINITY 1100 and 2100
series. Full user details and setup instructions can be found at www.adder.com/en/kvm-solutions/
adderlink-innity-2102 Please read the supplied safety instruction leaet before use.
Initial conguration
ALIF units can be linked in two mains ways: Direct or Networked.
Direct linking
Where ALIF transmitters and receivers are directly linked to each other, very little conguration action
is required, provided that they both have their factory default settings in place - just link them together.
If the standard settings have been changed in a previous installation, you merely need to perform a
manual factory reset on each unit. Please see the center pages.

Networked linking
Where ALIF units are connected via networked links, you can either congure them individually, or
congure them collectively using an AIM server:
• Conguring networked ALIF units individually -You need to specify the network addresses
of the ALIF2100 units so that they can locate each other.This can be done using via OSD on the
console connected to the RX unit by pressing CTRL + A LT + C. Please see the rear page.
• Conguring networked ALIF units collectively - The ADDERLink™ INFINITY Management
(AIM) server allows you to congure, control and coordinate any number of ALIF transmitters and
receivers from a single application. See adder.com for details.
IMPORTANT: When using AIM to congure ALIF units, it is
vital that all units that you wish to locate and control are
set to their factory default settings. Otherwise they will
not be located by the AIM server. If necessary, perform a
manual factory reset on each ALIF unit. See center pages.
Note: If you are using one or more ALIF transmitters within
an installation managed by an AIM server, the AIM server
must be running rmware version 5.3 or above.
ALIF conguration via web pages
Each ALIF unit hosts its own internal set of web pages which contain all conguration details and
settings.You will need to use a computer connected to the same network as each ALIF unit to
access the web pages. Additionally, on the console attached to the ALIF RX unit, you can access its
conguration details via the On Screen Display (OSD) by pressing CTRL + A LT + C
To congure ALIF units via their web pages
Run a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the required ALIF unit:
The default addresses (if using port 1) are TX: https://169.254.1.33
RX: https://169.254.1.32
The default addresses (if using port 2) are TX: https://169.254.1.43
RX: https://169.254.1.42
The opening page should be displayed:

Connections
To perform a manual factory reset
A factory reset returns ALIF unit to its default conguration.
1 Power on the ALIF unit.
2 Use a long narrow implement (e.g. a straightened-out paper clip) to press-and-hold the recessed
reset button on the front panel for roughly ten seconds, until the status indicator turns blue (Note:
alternating red/green indications will occur during the ten second period while the button is still pressed).
3 Release the reset switch.The indicator will change to red for a short while (less than ten seconds)
and then back to blue while ALIF unit performs the reset and should then change to an alternative
color, usually orange initially, signifying that the operation is complete.
Note: If you are performing a factory reset and intend to disconnect the power immediately after the reset,
you must wait at least 30 seconds after you have released the reset button for it to complete the process.
Teaming
ALIF units are ready to automatically invoke teaming whenever the
CATx and SFP (with either CATx or ber modules installed) ports are
both used to link transmitters and receivers.Teaming potentially
doubles the available bandwidth for video intensive applications and
also provides redundancy in case one link is lost.
* The units benet from multiple audio signal streams:
• Uni-directional analog audio - from the host
PCs jack socket,
• Uni-directional digital audio - via the video
connection,
• Bi-directional digital audio - via the USB
connection (converted to/from analog).
Main status indicators
Green All services present.
Amber Running but video, USB or network link missing.
Red Booting before processor loaded or failed.
Red rapid ash Critical error has been detected (a message will
also be displayed within the OSD.)
Blue Factory reset mode active.
Red/green ash Booting into factory recovery mode.
Green/blue ash Upgrade mode active.
Fast green ash Identify mode active.
Note:The images shown here
are for ALIF2100. ALIF1100
units are slightly different in
appearance but connect and
operate in the same way.
