2 Digital Desktop System Installer/User Guide
Digital extension up to 800 meters away
The Desktop Appliance and PCI Add In Card connect over fiber optic (applicable DDL21xx or
DDC2xxx Desktop Appliance models) or CAT 5, 5e or 6 cable (applicable DDL20xx or DDC2xxx
Desktop Appliance models). Reliable digital extension is available as far as 800 meters away from
the computer.
DWorks Administration Utility
The DWorks Administration Utility provides a simple and convenient way to set up and manage
Digital Desktop Systems deployed over a switched network. For added security, the DWorks
Administration Utility is not supplied with the standard Digital Desktop System distribution.
Contact your Avocent sales representative for more information.
On-board audio support, USB and serial controller
The Desktop Appliance is supplied with a built in audio adaptor and a USB 2.0 controller. The
USB 2.0 controller is provided with four access ports. A serial Universal Asynchronous Receiver/
Transmitter (UART) is also provided through an EIA-232 DB9 connector. For added security and
system control, the audio, USB and serial support devices can be independently disabled using
jumper settings on the PCI Add In Card or using the DWorks Administration Utility.
On-board video support
The Desktop Appliance is supplied with a built-in video adaptor providing digital resolutions of up
to 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz or analog resolutions of up to 2048 x 1536 at 60 Hz. Integrating the video
adaptor also reduces video degradation to levels beneath user detection. This may also be
accomplished with the installation of a user-supplied PCI video adaptor card.
Remote Power Control
An optional Remote Power Control (RPC) cable enables the system to have the same power and
reset functions that are available on the front panel of the host PC. Contact your Avocent sales
representative for information regarding your specific configuration.
Ethernet addressing
Both the Desktop Appliance and the PCI Add In Card are Ethernet addressable as Layer 2 devices.
This allows the Digital Desktop System to be connected over a 1 Gb Ethernet switched network.
Because of the network bandwidth requirements, Avocent recommends that the Digital Desktop
System be connected on a dedicated network. Connection between the PCI Add In Card and the
Desktop Appliance may be established over a point-to-point or switched network topology.
Kensington Lock
For installations requiring increased security, the Desktop Appliance can be connected to a user-
supplied Kensington Lock.
