Operations
Viewing and Selecting Ports and Servers
Use the OSCAR interface Main dialog box to view, configure and control servers in the AutoView
2020/2030 switching system. View your servers by name, port or by the unique Electronic ID
number (EID) embedded in each AVRIQ or IAC module. You will see an OSCAR interface-
generated port list by default when you first launch the OSCAR interface.
The Port column indicates the ARI port to which a server is connected. If you connect a legacy
KVM switch to the main AutoView 2020/2030 switch or an AutoView 2020/2030 cascaded
switch, the port numbering displays the ARI port first, then the switch port to which the server
is connected.
To access the Main dialog box:
Press
Print Screen to launch the OSCAR interface. The Main dialog box displays.

interface. You can use this key sequence in any place you see Print Screen throughout this installer/user
guide. See page 19 for more information.
