It is built for large commercial KVM-over-IP deployments — broadcast plants, government operations centers, and enterprise control rooms — where hundreds of ADDERLink INFINITY transmitters and receivers must be managed as one coordinated matrix. The -BCK designation licenses a redundant AIM pair under a single SKU, so 24\/7 facilities maintain failover protection without separate license purchases. As the highest fixed-capacity tier below unlimited, 288 endpoints suits installations that need substantial headroom with predictable licensing cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ADDERLink INFINITY Manager transforms ALIF extender endpoints into a high-performance IP KVM matrix running over standard gigabit IP networks. With AIM coordinating the system, any user station can be routed to any connected computer, operators can co-operatively share machines, and video can be multicast to multiple receivers without compromising video quality or control responsiveness. The base \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/adder-asp-001-us-adderlink-infinity-manager-device-supports-24-end-points\"\u003eASP-001 appliance\u003c\/a\u003e ships licensed for 24 endpoints; AIMLIC licenses scale that capacity through 48, 96, 192, and 288 tiers up to unlimited. The AIMLIC-288-BCK sits at the 288-endpoint tier and covers two AIM appliances — the primary server and a backup unit that provides failover for round-the-clock operation. In a rack-mount installation, the primary and backup AIM units occupy a single 1U space, and satellite appliances can be added for distributed reliability. Each AIM appliance provides dual network interfaces — two SFP ports plus one RJ45 at 1GbE — which can be independently routed across separate network segments or teamed, a useful design point when the KVM matrix spans isolated production and corporate networks. The license itself is delivered electronically as a digital key applied to the AIM server, so capacity expansion requires no additional hardware, no rack space, and no cabling changes. For AV system designers, that means a 288-endpoint matrix can be specified, quoted, and commissioned with hardware procurement limited to the ALIF endpoints and AIM appliances themselves.
