Introduzione
The ADDERLink XDIP is an IP KVM extender designed for extending and managing critical PCs over a standard 1Gb/s IP network. This device offers ultra-low latency and HD video transmission, making it suitable for point-to-point extension or small matrix solutions. Its configurable units can function as either a transmitter or a receiver, providing flexibility in deployment. The XDIP supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified installation and features an intuitive API for remote control and integration into larger systems.
Caratteristiche principali
- KVM Extender and Matrix Functionality: Provides both KVM extension and matrix capabilities.
- Configurable Units: Both user and computer units are identical and can be configured as a transmitter or receiver.
- Alimentazione su Ethernet (PoE): Compatible with most PoE switches, eliminating the need for additional power adapters in many installations.
- Telecomando: Network control via a RESTful API or HTTPS web browser.
- Distanza di estensione: Operates within the IP standard of 100m, with a 40% safety overhead.
- Collega e usa: Delivered in a zero-configuration state, requiring no drivers or software for immediate operation upon connection.
- Local USB and Video Feed-through Ports: For direct connection at the unit.
Impostare
The XDIP-POE is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these steps for initial setup:
- Configurazione dell'unità: Determine whether each XDIP unit will function as a transmitter (connected to the computer) or a receiver (connected to the user console). Units are identical and can be configured as either.
- Connessione di rete: Connect the XDIP unit to your 1Gb/s IP network using a standard Ethernet cable. If using PoE, ensure your network switch supports 802.3af PoE.
- Collegamento elettrico: If PoE is not available or preferred, connect an optional 12VDC power adapter to the 3 Pin Locking DC jack.
- Computer Connections (Transmitter):
- Connect the computer's HDMI output to the XDIP's HDMI input.
- Connect the computer's USB port to the XDIP's USB type B port.
- Connect the computer's audio output to the XDIP's Audio 3.5mm input (if audio extension is required).
- Console Connections (Receiver):
- Connect your display's HDMI input to the XDIP's HDMI output.
- Connect your keyboard, mouse, or other USB HID devices to the XDIP's 3x USB type A ports.
- Connect your audio input device (e.g., speakers) to the XDIP's Audio 3.5mm output (if audio extension is required).
- Accensione: Once all connections are secure, power on the XDIP units. The device is designed for plug-and-play operation, requiring no initial software or driver installation.

This view displays the AdderLink XDIP branding, a USB Type A port for local peripheral connection, and four indicator LEDs labeled LNK (Link), USB, VID (Video), and PWR (Power) to show operational status. The Adder logo and website are also visible on the right side.
Istruzioni per l'uso
Once the XDIP units are set up and powered, they will automatically establish a connection. The following outlines general operation and advanced control methods:
- Funzionamento di base: After connecting, the KVM extender will transmit video, USB, and audio signals between the computer and the console. No additional software is required for basic point-to-point extension.
- Indicatori di stato: Monitor the front panel LEDs (LNK, USB, VID, PWR) for operational status.
- LNK (Link): Indica la connettività di rete.
- USB: Indicates USB device connection and activity.
- VID (Video): Indicates active video signal transmission.
- PWR (Potenza): Indica che l'unità è alimentata.
- Telecomando: For matrix functionality or advanced control, the XDIP network can be managed remotely.
- HTTPS Web Navigatore: Access the unit's web interfaccia inserendo il suo indirizzo IP in a web browser. This provides a graphical interface for configuration and control.
- RESTful API: For integration into larger systems or custom control solutions, utilize the RESTful API. Refer to the Adder documentation for API specifications and commands.
- Local USB and Video Feed-through: The unit includes local USB and video ports, allowing for direct connection of peripherals or a monitor at the unit's location, which can be useful for local diagnostics or temporary access.

Risoluzione dei problemi
If you encounter issues with your Adder XDIP-POE, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- Nessun potere:
- Verify the power cable is securely connected to the unit and the power source.
- If using PoE, ensure the network switch port is active and providing power. Check the PWR LED on the unit.
- Nessun segnale video:
- Check HDMI cable connections at both the computer/source and the display/console.
- Ensure the video source (computer) is powered on and outputting a signal.
- Verify the VID LED on the XDIP unit is illuminated.
- Confirm the display is set to the correct input source.
- Check video resolution settings on the computer; ensure they are within the supported range (max 1920x1200 at 60Hz).
- USB Devices Not Responding:
- Assicurarsi che i cavi USB siano collegati saldamente.
- Verify the USB LED on the XDIP unit is illuminated.
- Test USB devices directly on the computer to confirm functionality.
- Only USB 2.0 HID devices (keyboard, mouse, tablet, touch) are supported.
- Nessuna connettività di rete:
- Controllare i collegamenti dei cavi Ethernet.
- Verify the LNK LED on the XDIP unit is illuminated.
- Ensure the network switch is operational and the port is active.
- Problemi audio:
- Controllare i collegamenti del cavo audio da 3.5 mm.
- Ensure audio output on the computer and input on the console are correctly configured and not muted.
- Problemi intermittenti:
- Controllare che tutti i collegamenti dei cavi non siano allentati.
- Ensure the network environment is stable and free from excessive interference.
- Consider restarting both XDIP units and connected devices.
