Chapter 3: Analog Port Operation

The AutoView 1000R/2000R includes an analog port on the back of the unit

that allows you to connect a monitor and a PS/2 keyboard and mouse for direct

analog access. The appliance uses OSCAR, the On-Screen Configuration and

Activity Reporting interface, which utilizes intuitive menus to configure your

system and select computers.

Use the OSCAR Main dialog box to view, configure and control servers in the

AutoView 1000R/2000R system. View your servers by name, port or by the unique

Electronic ID number (EID) embedded in each AVRIQ. You will see an OSCAR-

generated port list by default when you first launch OSCAR.

The Port column indicates the ARI port to which a server is connected. If you connect

a legacy KVM switch to the appliance, 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.

To access the Main dialog box:

Press Print Screen to launch OSCAR. The Main dialog box appears.

NOTE: You can also press the Control key twice within one second to launch OSCAR. You can

use this key sequence in any place you see Print Screen throughout this installer/user guide.

Viewing the status of your appliance

The status of the servers in your system is indicated in the right columns of the

Main dialog box. The following table describes the status symbols.
