OutLook 180DX Installer/User Guide
FLASH upgradable
The OutLook 180DX is FLASH upgradable. This allows you to update your
firmware at any time through a simple serial connection to ensure that your
OutLook system is always running the most current version available.
Built-in scanning capabilities
A built-in scanning feature allows you to automatically monitor, or scan,
connected computers without intervention. When keyboard activity is
detected, scanning is suspended until all activity stops. Scanning then resumes
with the next server in sequence.
Cascading expansion
Each OutLook 180DX switch supports up to eight directly attached servers. If
more than eight are needed, multiple units can be cascaded together with one
unit designated as the primary switch and additional units connected to it as
secondary switches. This extra cascade of units allows you to attach up to 64
servers in one system.
