Avocent 2015 Switch User Manual


 
Chapter 1: Product Overview 3
Cascading expansion
Each AutoView switch supports up to 16 directly attached servers and can conveniently scale to
support more. You can expand your system using cascadable Avocent products such as other
AutoView or OutLook
®
switches. This extra “cascade” of units allows you to attach up to 256
servers in one system. See Chapter 2 for more information.
Local user accounts
The AutoView 1415/1515/2015 switches enable an administrator to configure up to four user
accounts for use with the switch. These user accounts allow the administrator to restrict what ports
a class of user can access, as well as the name of the user account and password. See Chapter 4 for
more information.
Integrated Access Cables
The AutoView 1415/1515/2015 switches also feature Integrated Access Cable (IAC) modules
designed to provide the same ease of use as the AVRIQ module. Available in three different
lengths, IAC modules are RJ-45 style cables that provide a reduced cost alternative to AVRIQ
modules. IAC modules support PS/2 and USB connectivity. Contact your Avocent representative
for more information.
NOTE: IAC modules are not upgradable.
