4 AutoView 1000R/ AutoView 2000R Installer/User Guide

The AVRIQ-SRL (serial) module is a DCE device that provides the primary

interface between a serial device and the AutoView 1000R/2000R appliance. It

provides VT100 terminal emulation, break suppression and port history in a

convenient module format. The AVRIQ-SRL is compatible with the ARI ports of

the AutoView 1000R/2000R appliance. See Appendix B for more information on

the AVRIQ-SRL module.

Access via network connection

No special software or drivers are required on the attached computers. Remote

users access the AutoView 1000R/2000R and all attached systems via Ethernet

from a PC running AVWorks™. This software resides on the user’s PC only. User

PCs can be located anywhere a valid network connection exists. The AutoView

1000R/2000R can be configured on a separate network from your data network,

allowing access to your servers even if your applications network is down.

Point and click control with AVWorks software

The AVWorks software is a cross-platform management application that allows

you to view and control the AutoView 1000R/2000R and all attached servers.

The AVWorks software provides secure authentication, data transfers and

username/ password storage. By utilizing a browser interface for navigation

with an intuitive split-screen interface, this software provides you with a single

point of access for your entire system. From here, you can manage the

AutoView 1000R/2000R, install a new AutoView 1000R/2000R or launch a video

session to a system server. Multiple servers can be accessed by one user; each

additional computer’s video will appear in a separate program window.

NOTE: Throughout the documentation and AVWorks user interface, you will see the word

“ appliance” used generically to describe the AutoView 1000R/2000R switch.
