Avocent DSView 3 Connector for HP® Software
The DSView 3 Connector for HP Software extends the capabilities of HP Software Network Node
Manager (NNM) and Operations for Windows (OVOW). Seamless access and control allows
critical management functions for dispersed IT environments. Out of band connectivity offers

Supported Units
For management functions, the DSView 3 software client uses HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer
Protocol with SSL encryption) to send a request to the DSView 3 server, which then sends a
command to the managed appliance. The appliance then performs the requested function.
The DSView 3 software supports the managed appliances listed in this section. Other appliances
may be supported by plug-ins; see the Avocent web site, www.avocent.com, for a list of plug-ins
that may currently ship with the DSView 3 software and/or that can be added to the DSView 3
software. See Plug-ins on page 319 for information about adding and managing plug-ins in the
DSView 3 software system.
Cyclades® ACS advanced console server
ACS advanced console servers allow users to access serially attached devices over a standard TCP/
IP connection using the Avocent Telnet Viewer, a third party Telnet viewer or a Secure Shell (SSH)
client. These serial sessions can be shared among multiple users across multiple DSView 3 servers.
For more information, see the ACS console server plug-in documentation.
