AutoView 1000R/AutoView 2000R Installer/User Guide
Access via network connection
No special software or drivers are required on the attached computers. Digital
users access the AutoView and all attached systems via Ethernet from a PC
running AVWorks. This software resides on the user's PC only. User PCs can
be located anywhere a valid network connection exists. The AutoView can be
configured on a separate network from your data network, allowing access to
your servers even if your applications network is down.
Point and click control with AVWorks software
The AVWorks software is a cross-platform management application that
allows you to view and control the AutoView 1000R/2000R and all attached
servers. The AVWorks software provides secure authentication, data transfers
and username/password storage. By utilizing a browser interface for
navigation with an intuitive split-screen interface, this software provides you
with a single point of access for your entire system. From here, you can
manage the AutoView, install a new AutoView or launch a video session to a
system server. Multiple servers can be accessed by one user; each additional
computer's video will appear in a separate program window.
NOTE: Throughout the documentation and AVWorks user interface, you will see the word
"appliance" used generically to describe the AutoView 1000R/2000R switch.
