2020/2030 switch to ensure the AutoView switching system is always running the most current
version available. See Appendix A for more information.
Cascading expansion
The AutoView 2020/2030 switch features an Avocent Console Interface (ACI) port that allows you
to cascade between two AutoView switches using only a CAT 5 cable. This extra “cascade” of
units allows you to attach up to 256 servers in one system. See Chapter 2 for more information.
