Managing an AutoView switch web interface device

The AutoView switch web interface provides several configuration options to tailor the AutoView 3100/3200 switch to your specific application.

Upgrading AVRIQ modules

The IQ Flash upgrade feature allows you to update AVRIQ modules with the latest firmware available from Avocent. This update can be performed using the AutoView switch web interface or the OSCAR interface.

After the Flash memory is reprogrammed with the upgrade, the AutoView 3100/3200 switch performs a soft reset, which terminates all AVRIQ module sessions. A target device experiencing an AVRIQ module firmware update may not display, or may display as disconnected. The target device will appear normally when the Flash update is completed.

NOTE: Check www.avocent.com for firmware upgrade files.

NOTE: AVRIQ modules are automatically updated when the AutoView 3100/3200 switch is updated.
