Overview of the AutoView 3100/3200 Switch Web Interface

In addition to the OSCAR on-screen interface, the AutoView 3100/3200 switch provides a built in web interface to handle all KVM switching needs. The AutoView switch web interface provides secure “point-and-click” web browser-based access to control any device attached to your AutoView 3100/3200 switch.

The AutoView switch web interface supports the following browsers:

•Microsoft® Internet Explorer version 6.0 SP1 and later

•Mozilla version 1.7.3 and later

•Firefox version 1.0 and later

•Netscape version 7.2 and later

Avocent recommends that the browser be kept up to date with the latest version.

A Video Viewer window allows you to control the keyboard, monitor and mouse functions of individual target devices connected to the AutoView 3100/3200 switch in real time. You may also use predefined global macros to perform actions within the Video Viewer window. For instructions on how to use the Video Viewer, see Chapter 5. Once the switch has been installed and configured as described in Chapter 2 and you have set the IP address, you are ready to begin daily operation.
