IQ module
An IQ smart module uses CAT 5 cabling to attach a target device to a KVM switch.
The IQ module significantly reduces cable bulk in the rack and is well suited for high-
density installations. An IQ module is connected to a DSR switch or other supported
KVM switch.

KVM
KVM is an abbreviation of Keyboard, Video, Mouse.
KVM session
A KVM session is a type of target device session in which the target device contains a
KVM connection (typically a server). KVM sessions are connected through a KVM
switch. Tiered analog switches may also be part of the connection. A KVM Video
Viewer connection exists between the DSView software client and the target device.
KVM session profiles
KVM session profiles control KVM session behavior on a target device. A profile
contains Video Viewer settings in general, cursor, toolbar, video and mouse scaling
categories. There is a default KVM session profile which a target device will use if no
other profile is assigned to it. Appliance administrators may create and modify profiles.
Appliance administrators or users with unit configure or unit edit rights may assign a
profile to a target device.
KVM switch
KVM switch refers to a unit that allows KVM sessions to a target device and is
supported by the DSView software. KVM switches include the DSR switch and other
switches supported by plug-ins.
