AutoView 3008/3016 Switch Connectivity
The AutoView 3008/3016 switching system transmits keyboard, video and mouse (KVM)
information between operators and target devices attached to the switch.
The AutoView 3008/3016 switch uses TCP/IP for communication over a network. Although
10BaseT Ethernet may be used, Avocent recommends a dedicated, switched 100BaseT network.
Installation Overview
The general procedure for setting up and installing an AutoView 3008/3016 switch is as follows:
• Unpack the switch and verify that all components are present and in good condition.
• Make all hardware connections between the power source, switch, target devices and the
Ethernet.
• Turn on the power and verify that all connections are working.
• Configure the AutoView 3008/3016 switch’s IP address using the OSCAR graphical user
interface.
• Use the On-board Web Interface (OBWI) to configure the AutoView 3008/3016 switch.
