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