Multi-Server Control and Extension Technology
The versatile AutoView KVM switches add flexibility and performance to your network.
The multi-platform, 16-port AutoView 2000 integrates Avocent’s field-proven analogue
KVM switching technology with advanced cable management, enhanced access and a
patented next-generation user interface. The AutoView 2000 provides flexible access at
the rack for two simultaneous users, eliminates cable bulk with Avocent’s AVRIQ CAT 5
designed cable interface and provides convenient on-screen management with the
OSCAR GUI. A unique benefit of the AutoView 2000 is the AVRIQ smart cable interface.
The AVRIQ CAT 5 designed cable interface automatically assigns and retains unique
server names for each attached server, which simplifies installation and eases re-
configuration. The AutoView 2000 KVM switch supports all major server platforms and
the OSCAR user interface allows for full system administration.
AutoView, the product suite’s cornerstone, provides user-friendly on-screen display
with 14-character naming capabilities and two-level security. This KVM switch offers
switching methods from either the keyboard, front panel or the on-screen display and its
advanced hot pluggability makes it easier to add, remove and swap channels without
powering down your servers. The Keep Alive feature allows attached servers to continue
network functions in the event of an AutoView power failure. Keyboard and mouse
emulation processing power is provided through the keyboard connection on the
servers. This prevents the attached computers from locking up and keeps you from
losing time and data.
AutoView 200 provides the benefit of two simultaneous users and built-in extension
capability - up to 150 metres away. With AutoView 200, two users can view information
on a single server at the same time. The powerful, multi-platform AutoView 400 uses
Avocent’s embedded LongView extension technology. This built-in extension technology
provides extended access capabilities using a single CAT 5 cable.
