Features and Benefits

®
The multiuser, 16-port AutoView 2020/2030 switch integrates Avocent field-proven analog
keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) switching technology with advanced cable management,
flexible access for two simultaneous users and a patented, next-generation user interface. The
AutoView 2020/2030 KVM switch features front panel USB and PS/2 ports that conveniently
support all major server platforms.
®
On-screen management through the AutoView 2020/2030 OSCAR graphical user interface (GUI)
provides easy system configuration and server selection. The AutoView 2030 switch features
support for both IPv4 (default) or IPv6 modes through OSCAR, as well as support for smart card
readers.
The AutoView switch features virtual media support and both AVRIQ intelligent module and
Integrated Access Cable (IAC) module capability. The AVRIQ module with CAT 5 design
dramatically reduces cable clutter, while providing optimal resolution and video settings. The IAC
module is designed to provide the same ease of use as the AVRIQ module at a reduced cost.
Virtual media
Virtual media capabilities allow you to connect USB-based media, such as a USB disk drive or
memory device, to the front panel of the AutoView switch. Data can then be transferred between
the target device and the USB media device connected to the AutoView switch.
Virtual reader
The AutoView switch also features smart card (virtual reader) support. Virtual reader capabilities
allow you to connect a USB-based smart card reader to the front panel of the AutoView switch.
When paired with an AVRIQ-VMC module, smart cards will authenticate to target systems that
support smart card authentication.
AVRIQ intelligent module
AVRIQ modules allow direct KVM connectivity to servers in your AutoView switching system.
Each AutoView 2020/2030 switch has 16 Avocent Rack Interface (ARI) ports for connecting
AVRIQ modules. Utilizing an AVRIQ module, you can attach additional switches to expand your
AutoView switching system. This flexibility allows you to add capacity as your data center grows.
