AutoView 3050/3100/3200 Switch Connectivity
The AutoView 3050/3100/3200 switching system transmits keyboard, video and mouse (KVM)
information between operators and target devices attached to the switch over a network using either
an Ethernet or modem connection.
The AutoView 3050/3100/3200 switch uses TCP/IP for communication over Ethernet. Although
10
BaseT Ethernet may be used, Avocent recommends a dedicated, switched 100BaseT or
1000BaseT network for switches that support it.
