How to Control Branch Locations
Without Leaving Your Office
Managing branch offices and diverse device types without on-site personnel are critical
issues facing IT administrators today. The Avocent family of DSR ® branch switches are
cost-effective KVM over IP appliances specifically designed for IT administrators who
need to easily troubleshoot, reboot or even power cycle servers or serial-based network
devices in branch offices. Using standard IP connections, our patented KVM over IP
technology provides a single, centralized management interface to access and control
devices regardless of location or type. The DSR branch switches, built on field-proven
KVM over IP technology, combine external modem support and power control in a single
solution. This complete solution provides secure 24/7 remote access to critical network
devices in your branch offices. With remote access to diverse devices and a secure,
centralized management interface, the DSR branch switches help IT administrators
avoid costly on-site service calls to branch offices and improve access to business-
critical devices.
