Chapter 1: Product OverviewFeatures and Benefits
The Avocent AutoView® 1000R and 2000R model switches combine analog and
digital technology to provide flexible, centralized control of data center
servers. This solution delivers secure digital access and flexible server
management from anywhere at any time.
NOTE: Throughout the documentation you will see the word “ appliance” used generically to
describe the AutoView 1000R/2000R switch.
The AutoView 1000R/2000R consists of a rack mountable keyboard, video and
mouse ( KVM) switch configurable for analog (local) and digital (remote)
connectivity. Each AutoView 1000R/2000R has 16 Avocent Rack Interface
( ARI) ports for connecting devices and operating over standard LAN
connections. Access servers or serial devices across a 100BaseT Ethernet
connection or directly through a local port on the AutoView 1000R/2000R for
analog KVM connectivity and administration. Video resolutions through the
local port can be up to 1600 x 1280 with an end-to-end cable length of up to 15
meters (50 feet). Remote users can achieve video resolution of up to
1280 x 1024 with a cable length of up to 10 meters (32 feet) between the
AutoView 1000R/2000R and the server.

AVRIQ and AVRIQ-SRL (serial) modules
The AVRIQ and AVRIQ-SRL (serial) modules with CAT 5 design dramatically
reduce cable clutter, while providing optimal digital display resolution and
video settings. The built-in memory of the AVRIQ simplifies configuration by
assigning and retaining unique server names or Electronic ID ( EID) numbers
for each attached server. This integrated intelligence enhances security and
prevents unauthorized access to a server through module manipulation. The
AVRIQ is powered directly from the server and provides Keep Alive
functionality even if the AutoView 1000R/2000R is not powered.
