Chapter 5 – Local Port Operation
Controlling your System at the Local Port
The DSR1161 and DSR2161 models include a local port on the back of the
unit. This port allows you to connect a keyboard, monitor and mouse to the
unit for direct access. The DSR uses OSCAR, Avocent’s patented on-screen
configuration and activity reporting interface, which has intuitive menus to
configure your system and select computers. Computers can be identified by
name or number, allowing you to customize server names.
Viewing and Selecting Ports and Servers
Use the Main dialog box to view, configure and control the servers in the
DSR system.
To access the Main dialog box
Press Print Screen to start OSCAR and gain access to the Main dialog box. The
Main dialog box will appear.
Viewing the Status of Your DSR System
