Two-User Share Mode

The AutoView 1415/1515/2015 switches feature a Share Mode function that allows two users to gain access to a primary server. The user configurable time-out feature allows you to determine the amount of time (up to 600 seconds) for the target to remain idle before the other user can take control of the target.

OSCAR graphical user interface

AutoView switches use the OSCAR interface, which features intuitive menus to configure your switching system and select servers. servers can be identified by unique name, EID or port number, allowing you to assign unique server names.

Security

The OSCAR interface allows you to protect your system with a screen saver password. After a user-defined time, the screen saver mode engages and access is prohibited until the appropriate password is entered to reactivate the system.

Operation modes

The OSCAR user interface provides convenient operation modes for easy system administration of the AutoView switch. These modes (Broadcast, Scan, Switch and Share) allow you to manage your switching activities. Chapter 3 explains these modes in detail.
