1.6 Definition of Terms
This chapter explains terms that are found frequently throughout this manual.
AdonIS
The AdonIS is the graphical user interface of the CATCenter
system. You can use AdonIS for operation and configuration.
In addition, AdonIS offers controlled access to the entire
CATCenter system via the login functionality.
Cascading
A cascade consists of a master-slave architecture. The
master serves as the central control unit for all connected
slave devices. A CATCenter cascade can be used to
increase the number of targets that can be connected to 512,
1024 or 2048 (depending on the CATCenter used).
CATCenter
The CATCenter is the central unit of the overall system. The
CATCenter is the connection point for (2, 4, or 8) consoles on
the one hand and (16) 32 targets on the other hand. If more
than (16) 32 targets are connected then this takes place by
cascading; in this case, the CATCenter is used both as
master and as slave.
CATpro2
Dongle used to connect the targets to the CATCenter. The
keyboard, video, and mouse signals are modulated by the
CATpro2 and transmitted to the CPU interface of the
CATCenter via a CAT-x cable (x=5,6,7).
CAT-x-Cable
Fully shielded CAT cable that transports the modulated KVM
signals.
Console
A console consists of keyboard, video, and mouse. These
peripheral devices are connected to the UCON.
Console Port
RJ45 interface on the CATCenter used to connect the UCON
devices.
CPU Port
RJ45 interface on the CATCenter used to connect the
targets.
