However, if the features and capabilities of DSView 3 software are
desired (such as centralized administration) then DSView 3 is needed.
- One DSRIQ interface module is required for each attached server or
serial-based device. USB 2.0 version modules are required for virtual
media functionality.

is required for every four DSRIQ-SRL interface modules.
FAQs

Question
|
Answer
|
|
Equipment |
| I have
computers at multiple sites. How do I use the Avocent DSR switch
to provide access? |
The DSR® switch can be deployed
wherever computers or servers are located. It connects to your
network. Your technicians and administrators can access the
attached devices directly from their desk. |
| Can the DSR
switch provide access to other devices? |
The DSR switch is part of the
Avocent DS Series which has a wide variety of connection adaptors.
Use the VT100 serial adaptor to access routers, DSU or other
networking devices. |
| How do I get
access if my network connection to a site is down? |
The DSR switch has a port that
can be connected to a modem. This provides access to the site when
the IP connection is not working. By connecting the router or DSU
to the DSR switch, you can diagnose WAN or server problems. |
|
Operation |
| I use remote control software
to manage my remote locations. How is your solution different? |
The DSR switch connects to the
keyboard, video and mouse port of the computer. Unlike remote
control software, the DS Series products do not require a
functioning operating system, network stack, or application to be
running to access the computer. By connecting externally, a
CTRL-ALT-DEL command can be sent to reboot the computer. During
the boot up, the BIOS can be accessed or the boot can be
single-stepped in order to troubleshoot boot problems. Remote
control software cannot give boot level access. |
| Sometimes I need to cycle power
to a device to reset it. How do I cycle power remotely? |
The DSR1020 switch has a
built-in power control port. By connecting this port to an Avocent
SPC power control device, you can remotely check power starts and
cycle power. This eliminates calling someone at the location to
explain which power switch they need to cycle. |
|
Performance |
| Depending on my site, my link
speeds can be different. How does the DSR1020 switch handle
different speeds? |
The DSR1020 switch uses the
Avocent Dambrackas Video Compression® (DVC) algorithm. It provides
selections to reduce the number of colors, including a gray scale
selection, to operate over a variety of link speeds including
speeds of a dial modem. |
