2 AutoView 2020/2030 Installer/User Guide
AVRIQ intelligent module
AVRIQ modules allow direct KVM connectivity to servers in your AutoView switching system.
Each AutoView 2020/2030 switch has 16 Avocent Rack Interface (ARI) ports for connecting
AVRIQ modules. Utilizing an AVRIQ module, you can attach additional switches to expand your
AutoView switching system. This flexibility allows you to add capacity as your data center grows.
The built-in memory of the AVRIQ module simplifies configuration by assigning and retaining
unique server names and Electronic ID (EID) numbers for each attached server. Since
configuration information is stored on the AVRIQ module, it functions seamlessly when connected
to any server port. The AVRIQ module is powered directly from the server and provides Keep
Alive functionality even if the AutoView switch is not powered.
IAC modules
IAC modules are RJ-45 style cables that provide a low cost alternative to AVRIQ modules.
Available in three different lengths, IAC modules support PS/2 and USB connectivity.
Multiplatform support
The AVRIQ modules available with the AutoView 2020/2030 switch support PS/2, Sun™ and
USB server environments. Using the OSCAR graphical user interface
in conjunction with these
modules allows you to switch easily across platforms.
OSCAR graphical user interface
An AutoView 2020/2030 switch uses the OSCAR interface, which features intuitive menus to
configure your switching system and select servers. Computers can be identified by unique name,
EID or port number, allowing you to assign unique server names.
Security
The OSCAR interface allows you to protect your system with a screen saver password. After a
user-defined time, the screen saver mode engages and access is prohibited until the appropriate
password is entered to reactivate the system.
Operation modes
The OSCAR user interface provides convenient operation modes for easy system administration of
the AutoView 2020/2030 switch. These modes (Broadcast, Scan, Switch and Share) allow you to
manage your switching activities. Chapter 3 explains these modes in detail.
Video
The AutoView 2020/2030 switch provides optimal resolution for analog VGA, SVGA and XGA
video. You can achieve resolutions of up to 1280 x 1024 depending upon the length of cable
separating your switch and servers.
