AutoView 3008/3016 Switch OBWI
In addition to the OSCAR interface, AutoView 3008/3016 switches are equipped with an On-Board
Web Interface (OBWI) feature that provides a built-in interface to handle all basic KVM switching
needs. The AutoView 3008/3016 switch OBWI provides secure “point-and-click” web browser-
based access to control any device attached to your AutoView 3008/3016 switch.
Table 4.1 shows which operating systems and browsers the AutoView 3008/3016 switch OBWI
