NOTE: If you remove all permissions from a port or DS appliance, access to that port or DS
appliance will be lost.
Setting the Remote Session Window Size
Before using DSView for the first time, you will need to enter the default remote
session window resolution. This is the default window size that will be applied
to every DSView session. DSView will automatically adjust the display if the
window size changes during a session as long as autoscaling is enabled. When
a DS user accesses a channel via sharing, the display will be adjusted to match
the input resolution of the first person to access that channel.
To set the default remote session window resolution:
1. Load the DSView software. This will activate the Node Manager and provide
you with a list of target devices that you may access.
2. Select File - Default Session Window Resolution and click on the resolution that
you wish to use. Available resolutions are:
• None
• 640 x 480
• 800 x 600
• 960 x 720
• 1024 x 768
Setting the color depth
The DSR Dambrackas Video Compression™ (DVC) upgrade enables DSView
users to adjust the number of viewable colors in a remote session window.
You may choose to display more colors for the best fidelity, or fewer colors to
reduce the data transferred on the network.
NOTE: The DSR DVC upgrade is standard on all newer DS/DSR appliances. Older DS/DSR
appliances use standard video compression. For DSR DVC upgrade purchase information, contact
Avocent Technical Support or your Avocent reseller.
Remote session windows can be viewed using the best color available
(slower updates), the best compression (fastest updates), a combination of
best color and best compression or in grayscale.
