Multiplatform Support
The SIPs available with your Console Switch support PS/2 and USB server environments. PS/2,
USB, Sun, and serial cabling options are also available using Avocent™ AVRIQ intelligent cables.
Using the On-Screen Configuration and Activity Reporting (OSCAR
conjunction with these modules allows you to switch easily across platforms.
OSCAR Graphical User Interface
The Console Switch uses the OSCAR interface, which features intuitive menus to configure your
switch system and select computers. Computers can be identified by unique name, EID or port
number, allowing you to assign unique server names.
Security
The OSCAR interface allows you to protect your system with a screen saver password. After a user-
defined time, the screen saver mode engages, and access is prohibited until the appropriate
password is entered to reactivate the system.
Video
The Console Switch provides optimal resolution for analog VGA, SVGA, and XGA video. Achieve
resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200 with a 10-foot cable and up to 800 x 600 with a 100-foot cable.
Resolutions will vary depending upon the length of cable separating your switch and servers.
