AdderLink Installation and Use Page 6
1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AdderLink extender. Your AdderLink is designed to
transfer keyboard, video, mouse and RS232 signals up to 200 metres over Category
5 twisted pair cable. The AdderLink system consists of a transmitter (XL) and a
receiver (XR) unit that are connected together by a twisted pair cable. The XR unit
connects to your keyboard, monitor and mouse and the XL unit connects to the
computer system that is to be controlled.
The AdderLink extender is supplied in both standard (AdderLink) and enhanced
(AdderLink Gold) formats. In addition to the features supported by the AdderLink,
the AdderLink Gold system supports stereo audio and microphone signals and extra
connectivity options. This additional connectivity enables a second
keyboard/monitor/mouse set to be connected to the XL unit and an additional
computer system to be connected to the XR unit.
1.1 AdderLink features

metres from a computer.
