Local user accounts
The AutoView 2020/2030 switch enables an Administrator to configure up to four user accounts
for use with the switch. These user accounts allow the Administrator to restrict which ports a user
can access, as well as the name of the user account and password.
Cascading expansion
The AutoView 2020/2030 switch features an Avocent Console Interface (ACI) port that allows you
to cascade between two AutoView switches using only a CAT 5 cable. This extra "cascade" of
units allows you to attach up to 256 servers in one system. See Chapter 2 for more information.
