Multiplatform Support

The Dell SIP modules available for use with the Remote Console Switch support PS/2, USB and USB2 device environments. Using the OSCAR® interface in conjunction with these modules allows you to switch easily across platforms.

Interoperability with Avocent® IQ Module Intelligent Cabling

Avocent IQ module intelligent cable may also be used to connect devices to the Remote Console Switch. PS/2, USB, Sun®, and serial cabling options are available. For more information, please refer to the appropriate Avocent installer/user guide for your product. Visit avocent.com/manuals for more information.

OSCAR Interface

You can use the OSCAR interface to manage the Remote Console Switch. OSCAR features intuitive menus to configure your switch system and select computers. Devices can be identified by a name, EID, or port number, allowing you to assign unique device names.

On-board Web Interface

The on-board web interface provides similar management functions as the Remote Console Switch Software, but does not require a software server or any installation. The on-board web interface is launched directly from the switch, and any servers connected to the Remote Console Switch are automatically detected. You can use the on-board web interface to configure Remote Console Switches from a web browser. Launch the Viewer from the on-board web interface to establish KVM and virtual media sessions to target devices. The on-board web interface also supports LDAP authentication, which allows permissions for multiple Remote Console Switches to be managed through a single interface.

DSView® 3 Management Software Plug-in

The Avocent® DSView 3 management software is a secure, web browser- based, centralized enterprise management solution that allows users to remotely access, manage, monitor, and control target devices through managed appliances. A session may be launched to a target device with a single point of access.
