Local Port Operation

The AutoView 3050/3100/3200 switch includes a local port on the back. This port enables you to connect a keyboard, monitor and mouse to the switch for direct access. The AutoView 3050/3100/ 3200 switches include the OSCAR graphical user interface for configuring your system and selecting target devices.

Basic Operations

Viewing and selecting ports and servers

Use the Main dialog box to view, configure and control target devices in the AutoView 3050/3100/ 3200 switching system. You may view the target devices by name, port or by the unique Electronic ID (EID) embedded in each IQ module. You will see an OSCAR interface-generated port list by default when you first launch the OSCAR interface.

The Port column indicates the port to which a target device is connected.

Selecting a target device

Use the Main dialog box to select a target device. When you select a target device, the AutoView 3050/3100/3200 switch reconfigures the keyboard and mouse to the settings for the selected target device.
