AVRIQ Intelligent Module

A benefit of the AutoView switch is the AVRIQ intelligent module. The AVRIQ module with CAT 5 design dramatically reduces cable clutter, while providing optimal resolution and video settings. The built-in memory of the AVRIQ module simplifies configuration by assigning and retaining unique server names and Electronic ID (EID) numbers for each attached server. The AVRIQ module is powered directly from the server and provides Keep Alive functionality even if the AutoView switch is not powered.

Each AutoView 2015 switch has 16 Avocent Rack Interface (ARI) ports for connecting AVRIQ modules. AutoView 1415 and 1515 switches provide eight ARI ports. Utilizing an AVRIQ module, you can attach additional switches to expand your AutoView switching system. This flexibility allows you to add capacity as your data center grows.

Multiplatform support

The AVRIQ modules available with the AutoView switch support PS/2, Sun™, USB and serial server environments. Using the OSCAR® graphical user interface in conjunction with these modules allows you to switch easily across platforms.
