Basic Operations
Controlling Your System at the Analog Ports
The AutoView switch features one or two analog port sets on the back of the switch that allow you
to connect a monitor and a PS/2 keyboard and mouse for direct analog access. The AutoView
switch uses the OSCAR interface, featuring intuitive menus to configure your system and
select servers.
Viewing and Selecting Ports and Servers
Use the OSCAR interface Main dialog box to view, configure and control servers in the AutoView
switching system. View your servers by name, port or by the unique Electronic ID number (EID)
embedded in each AVRIQ module and IAC. You will see an OSCAR interface-generated port list
by default when you first launch the OSCAR GUI.
The Port column indicates the ARI port to which a server is connected. If you connect a legacy KVM
switch to the main AutoView switch or a cascaded AutoView switch, the port numbering displays
the ARI port first, then the switch port to which the server is connected. For example, in Figure 3.1,
servers 04-03 and 01-02 are connected to switches, then to servers on ports 03 and 02 respectively.
To access the Main dialog box:
