2 DSR Switch Installer/User Guide
The DSRIQ-SRL (serial) module is a DCE device that provides the primary interface between a
serial device and a DSR switch. It provides VT100 terminal emulation, break suppression and port
history in a compact, convenient module.
Control of virtual media-capable appliances
The DSR switch allows you to view, move or copy data located on virtual media to and from any
server. This feature allows you to manage remote systems more efficiently by allowing operating
system installation, operating system recovery, hard drive recovery or duplication, BIOS updating
and server backup.
Virtual media can be connected directly to the DSR switch using one of five USB ports located on
the switch. In addition, virtual media may be connected to any remote workstation that is running
DSView
®
management software and is connected to the DSR switch using an Ethernet connection.
NOTE: To open a virtual media session with a server, the server must first be connected to the switch using a
virtual media capable DSRIQ module (USB2 or USB2L).
Access the DSR switch via network connection
No special software or drivers are required on the attached, or client, computers.
NOTE: The client connects to the server housing the DSView management software using an Internet browser.
For modem access, you must install DSR Remote Operations software included on the DSView software CD-
ROM (see the DSView Installer/User Guide for more information).
Users access the DSR switch and all attached systems via Ethernet or using a V.34, V.90 or V.92
modem from a client computer, such as a PC. Clients can be located anywhere a valid network
connection exists.
Simple access to any target device
When a user accesses the DSView Server software, a listing of all target devices to which the user
has permission to view and manage is displayed. When a user selects a target device from the list,
the video of the selected target device is displayed in a Video Viewer window.
