Web Interface Operations
Overview of the DSR Switch On-Board Web Interface
In addition to the OSCAR on-screen interface, DSR switches equipped with the on-board web
interface feature provide a built in interface to handle all basic KVM switching needs. For
enhanced functionality and control of multiple devices, users can upgrade to the DSView 3
software package. The DSR switch on-board web interface provides secure “point-and-click” web
browser-based access to control any device attached to your DSR switch.
Table 4.1 shows which operating systems and browsers the DSR switch on-board web
interface supports.
NOTE: Mac OS X requires Firefox 1.5 or later.
