44 DSR Switch Installer/User Guide
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 DSR 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 regular operation.
Viewing and Selecting Ports and Servers
Before you can begin a KVM session, you must first login to the DSR switch on-board
web
interface.
To log in to the DSR switch on-board web interface:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of the browser, enter the IP address or host name assigned to the DSR
switch you wish to access. Use https://xxx.xx.xx.xx or https://hostname as the format.
3. When the browser makes contact with the switch, enter your username and password, then
click Login. The DSR Explorer Window will appear.
NOTE: The default username is Admin with no password.
The DSR Explorer Window
When a user has been logged in and authenticated, the Avocent DSR Explorer window appears.
From the DSR Explorer window, users may view, access and manage their DSR switch. The
window may also be used to specify system settings and change profile settings.
Figure 4.1 shows the DSR Explorer window areas for the DSR switch, and descriptions follow in
Table 4.2.
