Rebooting A Switch; Managing Servers - Avocent DSView Installer/User Manual

NOTE: Windows displays a dialog box that prompts the user for a username and password when a dial-up
connection is established. It is not necessary to enter a username or password in the dialog box. When this
dialog box appears, click OK to close the dialog box.
2. Once the connection has been established, select Start - Programs - Avocent DSView 3 - DSR
Remote Operations to start the DSR Remote Operations software on the PC. The Login dialog
box will appear.
The switch will disconnect the modem connection if a user does not log in within the time
period specified by the authentication time-out value. The default authentication time-out
value (120 seconds) may be changed using the Terminal Applications menu. See the installer/
user guide for the DSR switch for more information.
The DSR switch will attempt to contact the DSView 3 software server to authenticate the user.
If the DSView 3 software server is unavailable, the switch will use its internal database to
authenticate the user.
3. Type the username and password to which you wish to connect and then click OK. If authenti-
cation is successful, the DSR Remote Operations window will open.
NOTE: The switch will disconnect the modem connection if there is no activity on the modem connection for the
time period specified by the inactivity time-out value. The default inactivity time-out value (15 minutes) may be
changed using the Terminal Applications menu. See the installer/user guide for the DSR switch for
more information.
