Multi-Server Control and Extension Technology
The versatile AutoView KVM switches add flexibility and performance to your network.
The multi-platform, 16-port AutoView 2000 integrates Avocent’s field-proven analogue
KVM switching technology with advanced cable management, enhanced access and a patented next-generation user interface. The AutoView 2000 provides flexible access at the rack for two simultaneous users, eliminates cable bulk with Avocent’s AVRIQ CAT 5 designed cable interface and provides convenient on-screen management with the
OSCAR GUI. A unique benefit of the AutoView 2000 is the AVRIQ smart cable interface.
The AVRIQ CAT 5 designed cable interface automatically assigns and retains unique server names for each attached server, which simplifies installation and eases re-configuration. The AutoView 2000 KVM switch supports all major server platforms and the OSCAR user interface allows for full system administration.
AutoView, the product suite’s cornerstone, provides user-friendly on-screen display with 14-character naming capabilities and two-level security. This KVM switch offers switching methods from either the keyboard, front panel or the on-screen display and its advanced hot pluggability makes it easier to add, remove and swap channels without powering down your servers. The Keep Alive feature allows attached servers to continue network functions in the event of an AutoView power failure. Keyboard and mouse emulation processing power is provided through the keyboard connection on the servers. This prevents the attached computers from locking up and keeps you from losing time and data.
AutoView 200 provides the benefit of two simultaneous users and built-in extension capability - up to 150 metres away. With AutoView 200, two users can view information on a single server at the same time. The powerful, multi-platform AutoView 400 uses
Avocent’s embedded LongView extension technology. This built-in extension technology provides extended access capabilities using a single CAT 5 cable.

Product Series
Simple KVM Access with Increased Control
With advanced on-screen menuing, the OutLook KVM switches offer simple point and click access to your servers. OutLook’s extensive functionality also includes programmable naming, scanning, security and system broadcast features. The 8-port
OutLook 180ES is a single-user system that controls up to 128 computers from a single console. The 16-port OutLook 1160ES accommodates PC and Sun platforms and supports
Intel, Sun, Macintosh, HP-9000, RS-6000 and Windows NT. The OutLook 2160ES supports dual users and provides extensive multi-server access. The OutLook 4160ES controls up to 256 computers from one console and supports four users.
For advanced access and control, OutLook uses the patented OSCAR on-screen configuration and reporting GUI. The OSCAR interface provides a Windows-like GUI to control all administrative functions and settings. OSCAR uses intuitive menus for system configuration and server selection and provides server status information at a glance.
OSCAR also supports multi-platform server environments and includes support for multiple languages. With OSCAR, users easily benefit from convenient server identification and selection. Administrators can establish preferred user-defined naming conventions to create server lists and locate servers.
OutLook KVM switches are designed to optimise valuable space, time, power and hardware in the most extreme conditions. The OutLook is highly scalable and accommodates multiple users and computers as the server population grows. The 1U high-density design conserves valuable rack and server space, while providing improved cable management to minimise unnecessary cable bundles.
