The AdderView CATx 1000 can store up to 256 computer names and 5 sets
of user access rights in addition to the ADMIN user account. Particularly in
cascaded configurations, manually re-entering all computer names, port
numbers and access rights can be a lengthy process. Therefore, the AdderView
CATx 1000 provides a method to save and, if required, restore configuration
settings using its serial port. Further to this, the saved file can be opened
and edited within a text editor or spreadsheet and then restored back to the
AdderView CATx 1000 – a useful way to make multiple setup changes.
Note: You must be logged-in as the ADMIN user for this procedure.

Preparations for configuration save/load

• Download the Adder Data Transfer utility - contact Adder Technical Support

for details.

• Connect the serial port on the rear panel of the AdderView CATx 1000,
