The built-in memory of the AVRIQ module simplifies configuration by assigning and retaining
unique server names and Electronic ID (EID) numbers for each attached server. Since
configuration information is stored on the AVRIQ module, it functions seamlessly when connected
to any server port. The AVRIQ module is powered directly from the server and provides Keep
Alive functionality even if the AutoView switch is not powered.
IAC modules
IAC modules are RJ-45 style cables that provide a low cost alternative to AVRIQ modules.
Available in three different lengths, IAC modules support PS/2 and USB connectivity.
Multiplatform support
The AVRIQ modules available with the AutoView 2020/2030 switch support PS/2, Sun™ and
USB server environments. Using the OSCAR graphical user interface in conjunction with these
modules allows you to switch easily across platforms.
OSCAR graphical user interface
An AutoView 2020/2030 switch uses the OSCAR interface, which features intuitive menus to
configure your switching system and select servers. Computers can be identified by unique name,
EID or port number, allowing you to assign unique server names.
Security
The OSCAR interface allows you to protect your system with a screen saver password. After a
user-defined time, the screen saver mode engages and access is prohibited until the appropriate
password is entered to reactivate the system.
Operation modes
The OSCAR user interface provides convenient operation modes for easy system administration of
the AutoView 2020/2030 switch. These modes (Broadcast, Scan, Switch and Share) allow you to
manage your switching activities. Chapter 3 explains these modes in detail.
Video
The AutoView switch provides optimal resolution for analog VGA, SVGA and XGA video.
Achieve resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200 with a 100 foot (30 meter) cable. Resolutions will vary
depending upon the length of cable separating your switch and servers.
NOTE: Resolutions above 1280 x 1024 may need to be manually set in the operating system display settings.
Distances up to 100 feet (30 meters) are subject to cable quality and environmental factors.
Flash upgradable
Upgrade your AVRIQ modules at any time through the network port located on your AutoView
2020/2030 switch to ensure the AutoView switching system is always running the most current
version available. See Appendix A for more information.
