Control Of Virtual Media-Capable Appliances (Select Models); Access The Dsr Switch Via A Standard Tcp/Ip Network - Avocent DSR Series Installer/User Manual

2 DSR Switch Installer/User Guide
The DSRIQ-SRL (serial) module is a DCE device that provides the primary interface between a
serial device and a DSR switch. It provides VT100 terminal emulation, break suppression and port
history in a compact, convenient module.

Control of virtual media-capable appliances (select models)

The virtual media enabled DSR switches allow you to view, move or copy data located on virtual
media to and from any server. Manage remote systems more efficiently by allowing operating
system installation, operating system recovery, hard drive recovery or duplication, BIOS updating
and server backup.
Virtual media can be connected directly to the switch using USB ports located on the switch. In
addition, virtual media may be connected to any remote workstation that is running DSView 3
management software and is connected to the DSR switch using an Ethernet connection.
NOTE: To open a virtual media session with a server, the server must first be connected to a virtual media
enabled switch using a virtual media capable DSRIQ module (USB2 or USB2L).

Access the DSR switch via a standard TCP/IP network

The Avocent DSR switches provide agentless remote control and access. No special software or
drivers are required on the attached, or client, computers.
NOTE: The client connects to the server housing the DSView 3 management software using an Internet browser.
For modem access, you must install DSR Remote Operations software included on the DSView 3 software
CD-ROM (see the DSView 3 Installer/User Guide for more information).
Users access the DSR switch and all attached systems via Ethernet or using a V.34, V.90 or V.92
modem from a client computer. Clients can be located anywhere a valid network connection exists.
