Web Interface Operations
Overview of the AutoView 3100/3200 Switch Web Interface
In addition to the OSCAR on-screen interface, the AutoView 3100/3200 switch provides a built in
web interface to handle all KVM switching needs. The AutoView switch web interface provides
secure “point-and-click” web browser-based access to control any device attached to your
AutoView 3100/3200 switch.
The AutoView switch web interface supports the following browsers:
Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer version 6.0 SP1 and later
Mozilla version 1.7.3 and later
Firefox version 1.0 and later
Netscape version 7.2 and later
Avocent recommends that the browser be kept up to date with the latest version.
A Video Viewer window allows you to control the keyboard, monitor and mouse functions of
individual target devices connected to the AutoView 3100/3200 switch in real time. You may also
use predefined global macros to perform actions within the Video Viewer window. For instructions
on how to use the Video Viewer, see
Chapter 5. Once the switch has been installed and configured
as described in Chapter 2 and you have set the IP address, you are ready to begin daily operation.
