them locations where air cannot circulate to cool the equipment. Do not operate
the equipment in ambient temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Centigrade. Do
not place the products in contact with equipment whose surface temperature
exceeds 40 degrees Centigrade. Using two power supplies will ensure that each
power supply takes less load and run at a correspondingly cooler temperature.

How cascade connections operate
The.method.for.cascading.AdderView.CATx.units.is.straightforward.
and.requires.no.hardware.settings.or.lengthy.configuration.process..
allows.them.to.locate.each.other.and.share.information.
The.method.of.linking.AdderView.CATx.units.is.the.same.
regardless.of.the.cascade.level,.or.number.of.devices.attached..Put.
simply:.
• A single cascade link is made by connecting a computer
connections socket of one unit to a cAtx user ports
socket of the unit below it.
Such.a.single.link.would.allow.just.one.user.from.the.higher.
AdderView.CATx.unit.to.access.any.of.the.computer.systems.
attached.to.the.lower.one..However,.a.single.link.can.cause.
a.bottleneck.for.multi-user.systems.so.you.are.strongly.
recommended.to.use.a.minimum.of.two.or.three.links..Ideally.quad.
links.should.be.used.wherever.possible.as.these.allow.four.users.to.
simultaneously.access.computer.systems.situated.anywhere.within.
the.cascade.tree..
Port groups for cascade links
When.cascade.links.are.made.between.units,.each.AdderView.
CATx.will.automatically.recognise.the.links.and.treat.them.
accordingly..The.connections.within.dual,.triple.or.quad.cascade.
links.will.then.be.allocated.to.users.according.to.their.general.
availability.in.that.group,.not.as.specific.individual.lines..The.

Configuration
Almost.all.configuration.and.operational.aspects.of.the.AdderView.CATx.units.
Overall initial configuration
When.setting.up.a.new.installation,.the.following.stages.are.recommended:
With security disabled (default setting), all users attached to the AdderView
CATx have full and unrestricted access to all computers and all AdderView
CATx settings. In larger installations, you are strongly recommended to
enable security and set up individual user accounts with access privileges.
All AdderView CATx units have a fixed user account that cannot be deleted,
named ADMIN. This user account is the only one that is able to make
important system changes. If you intend to use security, then it is important
to allocate a password to the ADMIN account.
Use the ADMIN account to add user profiles, passwords and access rights
for each of the system users.
When numerous computers are attached, you are strongly advised to
provide names for each, to assist with recognition.
The long cable links that are possible between the AdderView CATx unit and
the computers and also to the remote users can affect the quality of the
video images displayed. Use the in-built compensation features to eliminate
any potential video image degradation.
Use the ADMIN account to determine key AdderView CATx settings and
timing characteristics.
AdderView CATx IP models only. IP models possess a further collection of
IP-related configuration options and encryption features that protect the
installation from unauthorised global users - ensure that the IP security
features are enabled before connecting the AdderView CATx IP unit to the
network. The IP settings use the standard ADMIN password.

Computer video compensation
The.video.compensation.for.connected.computers.is.achieved.using.the.main.
menu..Although.the.compensation.can.be.applied.from.any.local,.remote.
or.global.user.port,.it.is.best.achieved.using.the.local.user.port.because.this.
provides.the.most.direct.view.of.the.computer.output..The.compensation.
is.achieved.simply.by.registering.the.link.cable.length,.however,.different.
cables.can.vary.in.their.characteristics.so.it.is.often.useful.to.‘fine.tune’.the.
compensation.by.eye.
Note: CATx cables below 10m give very little loss and so it is not normally
necessary to be concerned about setting any computer video compensation if
short CATx cables are being used between the AdderView CATx and the CAM
for each computer..
To apply computer video compensation
1. Place.a.computer.(connected.via.its.CAM.and.category.5,.5e.or.6.cable).into.
the.highest.resolution.video.mode.at.which.it.will.be.used.
6. Use. and. to.increase.or.decrease.the.stated.cable.length,.as.required.
.
.
. Note: As you adjust the Length value, check the video image for signs of
under- or over- compensation, especially to the right hand side of any hard
vertical edges of images.
2. If.possible,.use.a.monitor.and.keyboard.connected.to.the.AdderView.CATx.
local.user.port..
7. When.the.correct.compensation.has.been.applied,.press. .to.quit.the.

to select it.......
4. Display.the.AdderView.CATx.main.menu.again.
5. Press. to.access.the.compensation.feature:

Ensure that the appropriate computer is
marked by the arrow - if it is not marked,
the computer is not correctly selected and
the compensation will not be applied.

Remote user video compensation
To apply remote user video compensation
1. Ensure.that.the.video.image.from.the.computer.to.be.used.has.been.
Video.compensation.for.each.remote.user.is.provided.by.their.Adder.X100.or.
X200.modules,.not.by.the.AdderView.CATx.unit.itself..Using.the.Adder.X100/
X200.controls.you.can.adjust.the.picture.sharpness.and.brightness.to.improve.
the.remote.picture.quality..
2. On.the.remote.user.keyboard.(connected.to.an.Adder.X100/X200.extender),.
simultaneously,.press.the.hotkeys.(by.default,.
.and.
).along.with. .to.
enter.configuration.mode.
Note: Accurate remote user compensation relies upon visual feedback from
the screen image. It is therefore vital to ensure that the video images being
sent out from the AdderView CATx are as ‘true’ as possible. Ensure, using the
local user port, that the video images received from the computers are correctly
compensated BEFORE attempting to adjust the remote user(s).
The three keyboard indicators (‘Num Lock’, ‘Caps
Lock’ and ‘Scroll Lock’) will now begin to flash in
sequence. The speed of the sequence indicates the
level of the sharpness adjustment currently applied:
the slower the rate, the lower the level of sharpness
being applied.
Video.compensation.is.best.carried.out.when.viewing.high.contrast.images.with.
vertical.edges,.such.as.black.lines.on.a.white.background..When.doing.so,.if.you.
notice.that.the.screen.image.is.‘fuzzy’.or.‘dark’.then.the.image.controls.may.not.
be.able.to.solve.this.condition..
3. While.viewing.the.displayed.screen.image,.use.the.following.keys.to.adjust.
the.controls:
Note: If the high contrast images exhibit shadows with separate colours, then
there may be a skew problem which requires a different image adjustment
(provided only by Adder X100AS/R and X200AS/R modules) - see the Remote
user skew adjustment section for details.

Hot plugging and mouse restoration
To restore mouse operation when hot plugging:
It.is.strongly.recommended.that.you.switch.off.a.computer.before.attempting.
to.connect.it.to.the.AdderView.CATx..However,.if.this.is.not.possible.then.you.
need.to.‘hot.plug’.the.computer.while.it.is.still.running..There.is.not.normally.
a.danger.of.damage.to.the.computer,.however,.when.mouse.communications.
are.interrupted,.often.they.fail.to.re-initialise.when.reconnected..The.AdderView.
CATx.provides.a.feature.to.reinstate.mouse.communications.once.the.necessary.
connections.have.been.made.
1. Using.a.suitable.CAM.(Computer.Access.Module).and.category.5,.5e.or.6.
link.cabling,.carefully.make.the.connections.between.the.keyboard,.monitor,.
mouse.(and.audio).sockets.of.the.computer.and.the.required.AdderView.
CATx.port.
There.are.two.main.types.of.data.formats.used.by.current.PC.mice,.these.are.
the.older.‘PS/2’.or.‘standard.mouse’.format.and.the.more.recent.‘IntelliMouse®’.
format.introduced.by.Microsoft..These.use.slightly.different.data.arrangements.
and.it.is.important.to.know.which.type.was.being.used.before.you.hot-plugged.
the.computer.to.the.AdderView.CATx..The.previous.setting.depends.both.on.
the.type.of.mouse.and.the.type.of.driver,.as.various.combinations.of.PS/2.and.
IntelliMouse.are.possible..Using.the.incorrect.restore.function.may.produce.
unpredictable.results.and.require.the.computer.to.be.re-booted.
3. Highlight.‘Functions’.and.press.
.
4. As.appropriate,.highlight.one.of.the.following.options:
•. Restore Standard Mouse.–.if.PS/2.mode.is.required,.or...
•. Restore IntelliMouse.–.if.IntelliMouse.mode.is.required.
. Then.press.
.
5. Move.the.mouse.a.short.distance.and.check.for.appropriate.on-screen.
cursor.movement..If.the.mouse.cursor.darts.erratically.around.the.screen,.
then.cease.moving.the.mouse..This.is.an.indication.that.the.chosen.restore.
function.is.incorrect..Try.again.using.the.other.restore.function.
Which restore setting do I use?
The.general.rule.is.that.unless.both.the.mouse.and.the.driver.are.both.
IntelliMouse.compatible.then.you.need.to.restore.the.mouse.as.‘PS/2’..An.
IntelliMouse.can.operate.in.either.mode,.whereas.a.PS/2.mouse.cannot.
Note: The restore functions predict the likely mouse resolution settings but
may not restore the exact speed or sensitivity settings that were originally
set.
Recognising an IntelliMouse-style mouse
The.IntelliMouse.format.was.introduced.to.support,.among.other.features,.the.
scroll.wheel.function..If.the.mouse.has.a.scroll.wheel,.then.it.is.likely.to.support.
the.IntelliMouse.format..If.it.is.a.Microsoft-branded.mouse,.then.it.will.usually.
state.that.it.is.an.IntelliMouse.on.its.underside.label..
Recognising an IntelliMouse driver
Before.hot.plugging.to.the.AdderView.CATx.(or.afterwards.using.only.keyboard.
control),.access.the.Windows.Control.Panel.of.the.computer.and.select.either.
the.Mouse.option.(on.Windows.NT,.2000.and.XP).or.the.System.option.(on.
Windows.95,.98,.ME)..Look.for.the.name.of.the.driver,.which.will.usually.
include.the.words.PS/2.or.IntelliMouse..

Encryption settings
The.AdderView.CATx.IP.offers.a.great.deal.of.flexibility.in.its.configuration.
and.this.extends.equally.to.its.encryption.settings.that.are.used.to.prevent.
unauthorised.interception.of.signals..Due.to.the.variety.of.situations.in.which.
the.AdderView.CATx.IP.might.be.used.and.the.range.of.viewer.applications.that.
need.to.view.it,.a.number.of.settings.are.available..The.encryption.settings.to.
use.depend.upon.how.the.potential.global.users.will.operate.
Important.factors.to.consider.when.setting.these.options.might.be:
•. Do.all.global.user.connections.and.operations.require.encryption?
•. Will.some.global.users.be.using.older.VNC.viewer.versions?
AdderView CATx IP encryption settings
The.AdderView.CATx.IP.configuration.menu.offers.three.encryption.settings:
•. Always on.-.This.setting.will.force.all.viewers.to.use.encryption..Note:
This setting will preclude any VNC viewer versions that do not support
encryption..
•. Prefer off.-.This.setting.does.not.enforce.encryption.unless.a.viewer.
specifically.requests.it..If.a.viewer.has.its.‘Let.server.choose’.setting,.then.an.
un-encrypted.link.will.be.set.up.
•. Prefer on.-.This.setting.generally.enforces.encryption.unless.an.earlier.
viewer.version.is.unable.to.support.it,.in.which.case.the.link.will.be.un-
encrypted..If.a.viewer.has.its.‘Let.server.choose’.setting,.then.the.link.will.be.
encrypted.
Viewer encryption settings
The.web.browser.viewers.and.VNC.viewers.(of.level.4.0b5S.or.higher).offer.four.
encryption.settings:
•. Always on.-.This.setting.will.ensure.that.the.link.is.encrypted,.regardless.of.
the.AdderView.CATx.IP.encryption.setting.
•. Let server choose.-.This.setting.will.follow.the.configuration.of.the.
AdderView.CATx.IP..If.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.has.‘Always.on’.or.‘Prefer.on’.
set,.then.the.link.will.be.encrypted..If.the.‘Prefer.off’.setting.is.selected.at.
the.AdderView.CATx.IP,.then.the.link.will.not.be.encrypted.
•. Prefer off.-.This.setting.will.configure.an.un-encrypted.link.if.the.
AdderView.CATx.IP.will.allow.it,.otherwise.it.will.be.encrypted.

Placing AdderView CATx IP behind a router or firewall
A.possible.point.of.contention.between.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.and.a.firewall.
can.occasionally.arise.over.the.use.of.IP.ports..Every.port.through.the.firewall.
represents.a.potential.point.of.attack.from.outside.and.so.it.is.advisable.to.
minimise.the.number.of.open.ports..The.AdderView.CATx.IP.usually.uses.two.
separate.port.numbers,.however,.these.are.easily.changeable.and.can.even.be.
combined.into.a.single.port.
If you need to change the VNC port number
If.you.change.the.VNC.port.to.anything.other.than.5900,.then.each.VNC.viewer.
user.will.need.to.specify.the.port.address.as.well.as.the.IP.address..For.instance,.
if.you.set.the.VNC.port.to.‘11590’.and.the.IP.address.is.‘192.168.47.10’.then.
VNC.viewer.users.will.need.to.enter:.
192.168.47.10::11590
(Note.the.double.colons.that.separate.the.IP.address.and.port.number)..
IMPORTANT: The correct configuration of routers and firewalls requires
advanced networking skills and intimate knowledge of the particular network.
Adder Technology cannot provide specific advice on how to configure your
network devices and strongly recommend that such tasks are carried out by a
qualified professional.
The.firewall/router.would.also.need.to.be.informed.to.transfer.all.traffic.to.the.
new.port.number.through.to.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.
Addressing
When.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.is.situated.within.the.local.network,.you.will.need.
to.give.it.an.appropriate.local.IP.address,.IP.network.mask.and.default.gateway..
This.is.achieved.most.easily.using.the.DHCP.server.option.which.will.apply.
these.details.automatically..If.a.DHCP.server.is.not.available.on.the.network,.
then.these.details.need.to.be.applied.manually.in.accordance.with.the.network.
administrator.
Port settings
viewer:.
•. Port 80.for.users.making.contact.with.a.web.browser,.and.
•. Port 5900.for.those.using.the.VNC.viewer.
The.firewall/router.must.then.be.informed.to.route.incoming.requests.to.port.
5900.or.port.80.(if.available).through.to.the.local.address.being.used.by.the.
AdderView.CATx.IP...
When.these.port.numbers.are.used,.VNC.viewers.and.web.browsers.will.locate.
the.AdderView.CATx.IP.correctly.using.only.its.network.address..The.firewall/
router.must.be.informed.to.transfer.any.traffic.requesting.these.port.numbers.
through.to.the.AdderView.CATx.IP..
When a web server is also on the local network
Port.80.is.the.standard.port.used.by.web.(HTTP).servers..If.the.AdderView.CATx.
IP.is.situated.within.a.local.network.that.also.includes.a.web.server.or.any.other.
device.serving.port.80.then,.if.you.want.to.use.the.web.browser.interface.from.
outside.the.local.network.environment,.the.HTTP.port.number.of.the.AdderView.

instance,.if.you.set.the.HTTP.port.to.‘8000’.and.the.IP.address.is.‘192.168.47.10’.
then.browser.users.will.need.to.enter:.

To discover a DHCP-allocated IP address
Once.a.DHCP.server.has.allocated.an.IP.address,.you.will.need.to.know.it.in.

the.allocated.IP.address:
select.‘Save’..Once.the.page.is.saved,.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.will.contact.
the.DHCP.server.and.obtain.a.new.address.
2. Re-enter.the.same.‘Network.configuration’.screen.where.the.new.IP.address.

DNS addressing
As.with.any.other.network.device,.you.can.arrange.for.your.AdderView.CATx.IP.
to.be.accessible.using.a.name,.rather.than.an.IP.address..This.can.be.achieved.in.
two.main.ways:
•. For.small.networks.that.do.not.have.a.DNS.(Domain.Name.System).server,.
edit.the.‘hosts’.files.on.the.appropriate.remote.systems..Using.the.hosts.file,.
you.can.manually.link.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.address.to.the.required.name.
•. For.larger.networks,.declare.the.IP.address.and.required.name.to.the.DNS.

Placing AdderView CATx IP alongside the firewall
AdderView.CATx.IP.is.built.from.the.ground-up.to.be.secure..It.employs.a.
sophisticated.128bit.public/private.key.system.that.has.been.rigorously.analysed.
and.found.to.be.highly.secure.(a.security.white.paper.is.available.upon.request.
from.Adder.Technology.Ltd)..Therefore,.you.can.position.the.AdderView.CATx.
IP.alongside.the.firewall.and.control.hosts.that.are.also.IP.connected.within.the.
local.network.
Security.can.be.further.improved.by.using.the.following.suggestions:
•. Place.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.behind.a.firewall.and.use.the.port.numbers.to.
route.the.VNC.network.traffic.to.an.internal.IP.address.
•. Review.the.activity.log.from.time.to.time.to.check.for.unauthorised.use..
•. Lock.your.server.consoles.after.they.have.been.used...
A.security.white.paper.that.gives.further.details.is.available.upon.request.from.
Adder.Technology.Limited..
IMPORTANT: If you make the AdderView CATx IP accessible from the public
Internet or from a modem, care should be taken to ensure that the maximum
security available is activated. You are strongly advised to enable encryption and
use a strong password. Security may be further improved by restricting client
IP addresses, using a non-standard port number for access or limiting remote
access to dial up connections only...
Ports
In.this.configuration.there.should.be.no.constraints.on.the.port.numbers.
because.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.will.probably.be.the.only.device.at.that.IP.
address..Therefore,.maintain.the.HTTP.port.as.80.and.the.VNC.port.as.5900.
Addressing
Ensuring sufficient security
When.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.is.situated.alongside.the.firewall,.it.will.require.a.
public.static.IP.address.(i.e..one.provided.by.your.Internet.service.provider).
The.security.capabilities.offered.by.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.are.only.truly.effective.
when.they.are.correctly.used..An.open.or.weak.password.or.unencrypted.link.
can.cause.security.loopholes.and.opportunities.for.potential.intruders..For.
network.links.in.general.and.direct.Internet.connections.in.particular,.you.should.
carefully.consider.and.implement.the.following:
More.addressing.information:
•. Ensure.that.encryption.is.enabled...
•. Ensure.that.you.have.selected.secure.passwords.with.at.least.8.characters.
and.a.mixture.of.upper.and.lower.case.and.numeric.characters..
•. Reserve.the.admin.password.for.administration.use.only.and.use.a.non-
admin.user.profile.for.day-to-day.access...
•. Use.the.latest.Secure.VNC.viewer.(this.has.more.in-built.security.than.is.
•. Restrict.the.range.of.IP.addresses.that.are.allowed.to.access.the.AdderView.
•. Add.a.further.level.of.inherent.security.by.restricting.access.only.via.modem.
or.ISDN.dialup.
•. Ensure.that.the.computer.accessing.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.is.clean.of.
viruses.and.spyware.and.has.up-to-date.firewall.and.anti-virus.software.
loaded.that.is.appropriately.configured..
•. Avoid.accessing.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.from.public.computers.

Power switching configuration
Power control sequences
Power.switch.configuration.comprises.two.main.steps:
Note: The settings given below are for the EPS-S8 power switch - other power
switches may require different settings. Please refer to your power switch
documentation for details about codes required by other power switches.
•. Configure.the.POWER CONTROL.serial.port.to.the.same.speed.as.used.by.the.
The.structure.of.each.power.sequence.(OFF.and.ON).is.as.follows:
•. Configure.power.ON.and.OFF.strings.for.each.relevant.host.computer.
Pxy=z\0D.
For.each.power.port.there.needs.to.be.a.valid.‘Power.ON.string’.and.similarly.an.
appropriate.‘Power.OFF.string’..In.each.case,.the.strings.are.a.short.sequence.of.
characters.that.combine.a.port.address.and.a.power.on.or.off.value..
Where:.
x.is.the.switch.box.number,
y.is.the.power.port.number,..
z.is.‘0’.for.OFF.or.‘1’.for.ON,.and
\0D.represents.Enter.(or.Carriage.return).
If.a.particular.computer.has.more.than.one.power.input.(and.thus.requires.an.
equivalent.number.of.power.ports.to.control.them),.collections.of.strings.can.be.
combined.to.switch.all.of.the.required.ports.together.as.a.group.
To configure the power sequences for each host computer
1. Using.VNC.viewer.or.a.browser,.log.on.as.the.‘admin’.user.

When using the viewer window
Using the viewer window
The.viewer.window.gives.you.the.ability.to.view.and.control.the.AdderView.
CATx.IP.and.its.host.computer(s)..Its.operation.is.almost.identical.regardless.of.
whether.you.used.the.VNC.viewer.or.your.Web.browser.to.display.it.
What is the best screen resolution to use?
The.best.resolution.for.your.computer.is.one.that.is.larger.than.the.screen.of.the.host.
computer.that.you.are.viewing..This.will.allow.you.to.see.everything.without.scrolling.
around..Alternatively,.the.VNC.viewer.can.be.set.to.scale.the.image.to.fit.your.screen,.
but.remember.that.some.pixel.dithering.effect.will.be.seen.when.scaling.is.used..

The.viewer.window.presents.a.menu.bar.similar.to.that.shown.below..Certain.
items.within.the.toolbar.are.displayed.depending.upon.your.access.permissions.
and/or.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.configuration.
How do I navigate around a larger screen?
If.the.screen.that.you.are.viewing.has.a.larger.resolution.than.your.viewing.window.
you.will.need.to.scroll.around.to.see.all.items..The.viewer.window.allows.you.to.

Auto calibrate
Re-synchronise mouse .
When.you.visit.a.host.computer.for.the.very.first.time,.your.viewer.needs.to.
determine.the.optimum.video.and.mouse.settings.for.that.particular.computer..
The.button.will.remind.you.to.click.it.by.flashing.red.when.a.new.computer.
screen.is.encountered..Performing.this.step.is.important.because.it.can.help.
to.decrease.unnecessary.video.information.being.sent.across.the.link,.thus.

If.you.find.that.your.local.mouse.pointer.and.that.of.the.host.are.not.correctly.
synchronised,.use.this.feature.to.re-align.their.movements..This.operation.is.also.
selectable.from.the.Controls.menu.
To re-synchronise the mouse
1. Use.the.Hosts.button.to.select.the.required.computer.
2. Click.the. .button.and.then.click.OK.in.the.subsequent.pop-up.message.
Once.this.has.been.done,.providing.you.use.the.‘Hosts’.button.to.switch.
Note: If you find that this doesn’t work, you may need to perform a mouse
calibration again.
between.host.computers,.the.video.settings.for.each.machine.will.be.re-used.
Note: When performing an auto calibration, ensure that the screen image
is static (no moving images) and also try to remove any on-screen displays
generated by KVM switches (such as host names or menus). This is because
they can affect the calibration process and result in a lower overall performance
level. For mouse calibration, ensure that there are no application windows
located around the upper left corner of the screen. This is because as the mouse
calibration takes place, the cursor may change (to match the application as it
skims across the window) and this may confuse the calculation. Also ensure that
the host computer does not have the mouse cursor trails option enabled.

performance..
Note: Before using the ‘Calibrate All’ option, if possible, remove on-screen
display (OSD) elements generated by the AdderView CATx IP or any other
connected KVM switches (such as a host name label or menu). These OSD
elements use different video rates to those of the host system(s) and can
affect the setting of the automatic threshold value. AdderView CATx IP uses
an improved calculation procedure to filter out the effect of these elements.
However, best results are obtained when the screen contains only host
system information.

Note: To maximise performance, the threshold level is automatically
increased by 50% when a slow link is detected.
Note: When the AdderView CATx IP is used with one or more other
switches, the threshold needs to be higher than 32 due to the significant
amounts of ‘noise’ that these switches introduce. The AdderView CATx IP
configuration should detect such noise and adjust the threshold accordingly. .

WARNING - Many modern monitors are fitted with automatic power save
relays and will switch off after a few seconds if connected to an inactive
PC. If you are using such a monitor you must not set the AdderView CATx
to scan ALL ports. Constant switching on and off of your monitor’s relay
will eventually damage your monitor. If you are using the SCAN LIST

IP Address
This.is.the.identity.of.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.within.a.network..The.IP.address.
can.be.thought.of.as.the.telephone.number.of.the.AdderView.CATx.IP..Unlike.

Note: The VNC port and HTTP port can be set to the same port number in order
to simplify router and firewall configuration. If this is done then the AdderView
CATx IP will “listen” for both types of traffic on the single port.
Net Mask
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.

Appendix 6 – Addresses, masks and ports
Net masks
IP.address,.network.masks.and.ports.are.all.closely.linked.in.the.quest.for.one.
The.net.mask.(or.sub-net.mask).informs.a.device.as.to.its.own.position.within.a.
device.to.find.another.across.disparate.network.links.
network..From.this.it.can.determine.whether.any.other.device.is.within.the.same.
local.network.or.is.situated.further.afield.
IP addresses
Taking.the.telephone.number.analogy.given.in.the.IP.address.section,.in.order.
to.use.the.telephone.system.efficiently,.it.is.vital.for.you.to.know.your.location.
relative.to.the.person.you.are.calling..In.this.way.you.avoid.dialling.unnecessary.
numbers...
As.a.rough.analogy,.consider.how.you.use.the.telephone.system..The.phone.
number.for.Adder.Technology.in.the.UK.is.0044 (0)1954 780044..This.number.
consists.of.three.distinct.parts:
When.one.network.device.needs.to.talk.to.another,.the.first.thing.that.it.will.
do.is.a.quick.calculation.using.its.own.IP.address,.the.other.device’s.IP.address.
and.its.own.net.mask..Suppose.a.device.with.address.192.168.142.154.and.
net.mask.255.255.255.0 needed.to.communicate.with.a.device.at.address.
192.168.142.22..The.sending.device.would.perform.several.calculations:
•. 0044.connects.from.another.country.to.the.UK
•. (0)1954.selects.the.main.telephone.exchange.in.the.Bar.Hill.area.of.
Cambridgeshire,.and
•. 780044.is.the.unique.code.for.Adder.Technology.within.Bar.Hill.
The.important.parts.of.the.whole.number.depend.on.where.you.are..If.you.were.
based.in.the.same.local.area.as.Adder.Technology,.there.would.be.no.point.
in.dialling.out.of.the.UK,.or.even.out.of.the.area..The.only.part.of.the.whole.

Address
is local
When.two.network.devices.communicate.with.each.other,.they.always.“dial.the.
whole.number”.regardless.of.their.respective.locations.in.a.network..However,.
they.still.need.to.know.whether.the.other.device.is.local.to.them.or.not,.and.this.
is.where.the.net.mask.comes.into.play.
1.The.net.mask.is.used.to.determine.the.local.and.global.parts.of.the.sender’s.IP.
address..Where.there.is.255.in.the.mask,.the.corresponding.address.slips.through,.
where.there.is.a.0,.it.is.blocked.
2.Where.the.net.mask.was.0,.the.corresponding.part.of.the.result.is.also.zero.-.this.
section.is.now.known.to.be.the.local.part.of.the.IP.address.
3.The.same.process.is.carried.out.for.the.destination.address,.again.using.the.sender’s.
net.mask..Now.the.local.parts.of.both.addresses.have.been.equalised.to.zero,.because.
their.values.are.not.important.in.determining.whether.they.are.both.in.the.same.local.
network....
4.The.results.of.the.two.net.mask.operations.are.now.compared,.if.they.match,.the.
destination.is.local..If.not,.then.the.sender.will.still.use.the.same.full.destination.IP.
address.but.will.also.flag.the.message.to.go.via.the.local.network.gateway.and.out.
into.the.wider.world..
The.reason.for.doing.this?.It.makes.the.network,.as.a.whole,.much.more.
efficient..If.every.message.for.every.recipient.was.shoved.straight.out.onto.the.
Internet,.the.whole.thing.would.grind.to.a.halt.within.seconds..Net.masks.keep.
local.traffic.just.that.-.local.

Net masks - the binary explanation
To.really.understand.the.operation.of.a.net.mask.it.is.necessary.to.delve.deeper.
into.the.life.blood.of.computers.–.binary;.this.is.native.digital,.where.everything.
is.either.a.1.(one).or.0.(zero),.on.or.off,.yes.or.no..
AND.function’..The.example.of.255.255.255.0.is.handy.because.the.last.octet.
is.completely.zero.and.is.“clean”.for.illustrative.purposes..However,.actual.net.
mask.calculations.are.carried.out,.not.on.whole.decimal.numbers,.but.bit.by.bit.
on.binary.numbers,.hence.the.term.‘bit-wise’..In.a.real.local.network,.a.net.mask.
might.be.255.255.255.240..Such.an.example.would.no.longer.be.quite.so.clear,.
until.you.look.at.the.net.mask.in.its.binary.form:
. 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000
In.this.case,.the.four.zeroes.at.the.end.of.the.net.mask.indicate.that.the.local.
part.of.the.address.is.formed.by.only.the.last.four.bits..If.you.use.the.diagram.
from.the.previous.example.and.insert.the.new.net.mask,.it.will.have.the.
following.effect.on.the.final.result:
Decimal octet prior to AND
operation with net mask
154
192 168 142 154
192 168 142 144
Binary equivalent of ꢀꢄꢃ

Inside a bit-wise AND function
When.you.“open.up”.the.last.octet.
of.the.net.mask.and.look.at.the.
binary.inside,.you.can.see.the.last.
four.zero.bits.preventing.any.1’s.in.
the.address.from.falling.through..
10010000
Binary octet after AND
operation with net mask
Decimal equivalent of ꢀ00ꢀ0000
144
Thus,.when.154.is.bit-wise ANDed.with.240,.the.result.is.144..Likewise,.any.
local.address.from.192.168.142.144.through.to.192.168.142.159.would.
produce.exactly.the.same.result.when.combined.with.this.net.mask,.hence.they.
would.all.be.local.addresses..However,.any.difference.in.the.upper.three.octets.
or.the.upper.four.bits.of.the.last.octet.would.slip.through.the.mask.and.the.
address.would.be.flagged.as.not.being.local.....

Calculating the mask for IP access control
The.permissible.mask.values.(for.all.octets).are.as.follows:.
The.IP.access.control.function.uses.a.standard.IP.address.and.a.net.mask.
notation.to.specify.both.single.locations.and.ranges.of.addresses..In.order.to.
use.this.function.correctly,.you.need.to.calculate.the.mask.so.that.it.accurately.
encompasses.the.required.address(es).
Mask octet

2 addresses.
Single locations
252
4 addresses
Some.of.the.simplest.addresses.to.allow.or.deny.are.single.locations..In.this.case.
you.enter.the.required.IP.address.into.the.‘Network/Address’.field.and.simply.
enter.the.‘Mask’.as.255.255.255.255.(255 used throughout the mask means
that every bit of the address will be compared and so there can only be one
unique address to match the one stated in the ‘Network/Address’ field).
248
8 addresses
240
16 addresses
224
32 addresses
192
64 addresses
128
128 addresses
256 addresses
All locations
The.other.easy.setting.to.make.is.ALL.addresses,.using.the.mask.0.0.0.0..As.
standard,.the.IP.access.control.section.includes.the.entry:. 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
0
+
If.the.access.control.range.that.you.need.to.define.is.not.possible.using.one.
address.and.one.mask,.then.you.could.break.it.down.into.two.or.more.entries..
Each.of.these.entries.could.then.use.smaller.ranges.(of.differing.sizes).that,.
when.combined.with.the.other.entries,.cover.the.range.that.you.require.
The.purpose.of.this.entry.is.to.include.all.IP.addresses..It.is.possible.to.similarly.
exclude.all.addresses,.however,.take.great.care.not.to.do.this.as.you.instantly.
Address ranges
For.instance,.to.accurately.encompass.the.range.in.the.earlier.example:
Although.you.can.define.ranges.of.addresses,.due.to.the.way.that.the.mask.
operates,.there.are.certain.restrictions.on.the.particular.ranges.that.can.be.set..
For.any.given.address.you.can.encompass.neighbouring.addresses.in.blocks.of.
either.2,.4,.8,.16,.32,.64,.128,.etc..and.these.must.fall.on.particular.boundaries..
For.instance,.if.you.wanted.to.define.the.local.address.range:.
192.168.142.67 to 192.168.142.93.
You.would.need.to.define.the.following.six.address.and.mask.combinations.in.
the.IP.access.control.section:
Network/address entry Mask entry
192.168.142.67 to 192.168.142.93.
192.168.142.67
192.168.142.68
192.168.142.72
192.168.142.80
192.168.142.88
192.168.142.93
255.255.255.255
255.255.255.252
255.255.255.248
255.255.255.248
255.255.255.252
255.255.255.255
defines 1 address (.67)
The.closest.single.block.to.cover.the.range.would.be.the.32.addresses.from:.
192.168.142.64 to 192.168.142.95..
defines 4 addresses (.68 to .71)
defines 8 addresses (.72 to .79)
defines 8 addresses (.80 to .87)
defines 4 addresses (.88 to .92)
defines 1 address (.93)
The.mask.needed.to.accomplish.this.would.be:.255.255.255.224..
When.you.look.at.the.mask.in.binary,.the.picture.becomes.a.little.clearer..The.
above.mask.has.the.form:.11111111.11111111.11111111.11100000.
Ignoring.the.initial.three.octets,.the.final.six.zeroes.of.the.mask.would.ensure.
that.the.32.addresses.from..64.(01000000).to..95.(01011111).would.all.be.
details........
When.defining.a.mask,.the.important.rule.to.remember.is:
There must be no ‘ones’ to the right of a ‘zero’..
For.instance,.(ignoring.the.first.three.octets).you.could.not.use.a.mask.that.had.
11100110 because.this.would.affect.intermittent.addresses.within.a.range.in.an.
impractical.manner..The.same.rule.applies.across.the.octets..For.example,.if.you.
have.zeroes.in.the.third.octet,.then.all.of.the.fourth.octet.must.be.zeroes..

Ports
Security issues with ports
The.settings.of.port.numbers.become.important.when.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.
is.situated.behind.a.network.firewall..In.order.for.a.remote.VNC.viewer.or.web.
browser.to.make.contact.with.your.AdderView.CATx.IP,.it.is.necessary.for.the.
firewall.to.allow.communication.through.a.particular.numbered.port.to.occur..
then.think.of.ports.as.extension.numbers..In.a.company.of.any.size,.you.
generally.wouldn’t.expect.the.accounts.department.to.share.the.same.telephone.
with.the.technical.department..Although.their.calls.may.all.be.related.to.the.
same.company,.they.concern.very.different.aspects.of.that.company..
One.specific.function.of.firewalls.is.to.restrict.access.to.ports.in.order.to.prevent.
malicious.attackers.using.them.as.a.route.into.your.network..Every.new.port.that.
is.opened.offers.a.new.possibility.for.hackers.and.so.the.number.of.accessible.
ports.is.purposefully.kept.to.a.minimum..In.such.cases,.it.may.be.advantageous.
to.change.one.or.both.AdderView.CATx.IP.ports.to.use.the.same.number..The.
other.alternative.is.to.place.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.unit.outside.the.firewall.and.
details.
It.is.the.same.with.IP.network.connections..Although.you.have.only.one.network.
link.into.your.computer.and.only.one.IP.address.(phone.number),.you.are.
probably.performing.many.different.tasks.through.that.one.link,.often.at.the.
same.time..Thus,.when.you.browse.the.web.your.outgoing.requests.and.the.
incoming.information.are.all.channelled.through.port.80..When.you.send.an.
email,.it.travels.through.port.25.and.when.you.transfer.files.you.are,.without.
knowing.it,.using.port.20.
IMPORTANT: The correct configuration of routers and firewalls requires
advanced networking skills and intimate knowledge of the particular network.
Adder Technology cannot provide specific advice on how to configure your
network devices and strongly recommend that such tasks are carried out by a
qualified professional.
At.the.“border.crossing”.between.the.wider.Internet.and.every.local.network.
attached.to.it,.there.is.a.router.that.is.usually.combined.with.a.firewall..One.of.
its.main.tasks.is.to.direct.incoming.traffic.to.the.correct.place.within.its.local.
network..A.key.piece.of.information.to.help.it.do.this.is.the.port.number:.
