Chapter 2: Installation

The AutoView 1000R/2000R appliance requires that the AVWorks software be
installed prior to use. AVWorks software allows you to view and control a
server attached to the AutoView 1000R/2000R appliance, configure and
maintain the system and prevent unauthorized access to the appliance via
IP connection.
NOTE: The local port does not require the AVWorks software for operation. The local port
uses the On-Screen Confi guration and Activity Reporting interface (OSCAR
information, see Chapter 3.
The AutoView 1000R/2000R appliance uses Ethernet networking
infrastructure and TCP/IP protocol to transmit keyboard, video and mouse
information between operators and connected computers. Although 10BaseT
Ethernet may be used, a dedicated, switched 100BaseT network provides
improved performance.
