ADDERLink INFINITY
Initial configuration ALIF3000 units depend upon ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM) for almost all of their configuration.As a new ALIF3000 unit is added to a network it must be in its factory default mode so that AIM can engage with it and begin managing its resources. If an ALIF3000 is not in factory default mode, please see the center pages. To connect and configure an ALIF3000 1 Connect the ALIF3000 to an AIM-controlled network using either of the SFP ports via a suitable CATx or fiber SFP module. 2 Connect the necessary peripheral devices to the ALIF3000 and apply power to it via the supplied power adapter. 3 The OLED screen on the front panel will provide status information: ASLeIaFrc3h0i0n0g... ACLoInFne3c0t0i0ng... ACLoInFne3c0t0e0d You should see the message progress from Searching... to Connected. 4 Log into AIM as an administrator and locate the new ALIF3000R entry within the Receivers section. 5 Click the icon on the ALIF3000R entry to configure the device. Please see the AIM user guide for further details.

Part No. MAN-QS-ALIF3000-ADDER_V1.0 ADDERLinkTM INFINITY 3000 Quick Start Welcome This quick start guide covers some of the key points of the ADDERLinkTM INFINITY 3000 (ALIF3000) unit, which has been created to address the growing requirement to connect users to both physical and virtual machines. Using standard VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) protocols - which are built-in; the ALIF3000 delivers seamless access to legacy KVM systems as well as Virtual Machine (VM) sources, from the same common console. Dual DisplayPort® video outlets provide support for a single 2560x1600 display or two at a maximum 1920x1200 resolution (60Hz refresh). ALIF3000 Network switch Gigabit connections The ALIF3000 receiver has two SFP ports located on its rear panel, which can accommodate a range of fiber or copper networking modules, as suits your installation. Each port can be connected to a separate gigabit fiber (or copper) network to permit access to a wider range of systems. A third network port (RJ45) is also provided to allow separate access, where necessary, to a corporate network to gain the VM hosting configuration data. All three connections are securely isolated within the ALIF3000 to prevent any cross contamination between networks. ALIF TX Legacy KVM system(s) Virtual machines Important ALIF3000 can ONLY be connected as part of an ADDERLink INFINITY system that is administered by an ADDERLink INFINITY Manager. See rear page for Initial configuration details. It is important that each ALIF3000 is set to its factory default settings, otherwise it will not be discovered by the AIM server. 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. Minimum versions In a mixed ALIF installation, ensure that the various components have the following software versions: · AIM server: v4.11 · ALIF100T-DVI: v4.07 · ALIF100T- VGA: v4.08 · ALIF1xxx: v4.9 · ALIF2xxx: v4.9 · ALIF3xxx: v1.0 · ALIF4xxx: v3.0 Full user details and setup instructions can be found at www.adder.com/en/ kvm-solutions/adderlinkinfinity-3000 Please read the supplied safety instruction leaflet before use.
