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.
