OSCAR® GUI

The Remote Console Switch uses the OSCAR® interface, which features intuitive menus to configure your switch system and select computers. Devices can be identified by a name, EID or port number, allowing you to assign unique device names.

Security

The OSCAR® interface allows you to protect your system with a screen saver password. The screen saver mode engages and access is prohibited until the appropriate password is entered to reactivate the system. By typing Help in the password dialog, you are directed to Dell Technical Support.

Encryption

The Remote Console Switch supports DES, 3DES, and 128-bit SSL encryption of keyboard, video, and mouse sessions.

Operation Modes

The OSCAR® user interface provides convenient operation modes for easy system administration of the Remote Console Switch. These modes (Broadcast, Scan, Switch and Share) allow you to manage your switching activities. Chapter 3, “Basic Operations” on page 25 explains these modes in detail.

Video

The Remote Console Switch provides optimal resolution for analog VGA, SVGA and XGA video. You can achieve resolutions of 1024 x 768, depending on the length of cable separating your switch and servers.
