Controlling Your System at the Analog Ports

The AutoView 2000 switch features two analog port sets on the back of the unit that allow you to
connect a monitor and a PS/2 keyboard and mouse for direct analog access. The AutoView 2000
switch uses the OSCAR interface, which uses intuitive menus to configure your system and
select computers.

Viewing and Selecting Ports and Servers

Use the OSCAR Main dialog box to view, configure and control servers in the AutoView 2000
switch system. View your servers by name, port or by the unique Electronic ID number (EID)
embedded in each AVRIQ module. You will see an OSCAR interface-generated port list by default
when you first launch the OSCAR interface.
The Port column indicates the ARI port to which a server is connected. If you connect a legacy
KVM switch to the main AutoView 2000 switch or an AutoView 2000 cascaded switch, the port
numbering displays the ARI port first, then the switch port to which the server is connected. For
example, in Figure 3.1, servers 04-03 and 01-02 are connected to switches.
