DSView Installer/User Guide

Installing the DSView Client

The DSView Client displays a listing of servers that an individual user can

access. The DSAuth Server will check your NT domain cached credentials

and provide a list of target devices available to you. There is a refresh option

in the event that a new target device is added, changed or deleted. Once you

have selected a target device from the list, the video of the selected target

device will display in a remote session window on the DS user’s monitor. The

DSView Client can be installed on any PC running a Win32 platform.

During the installation, a window will appear; enter the name or IP address

of the PC where the DSAuth Server is installed. This should be the same

name or IP address that you specified when installing the DSAdmin soft-

ware. Also, if you are installing a non-English version of the DSView Client

software, you will be prompted for the name of a default user setting.

To install from the CD:

1. Log on to the PC as Administrator.

2. Insert the DS Management Software CD. An autorun file will bring up a

menu of installation options.

3. You will be prompted to select a program to install. Select Install DSView.

The software will check the Avocent web site for a newer version of the

DSView Client software. If a newer version is found, it will be automatically

downloaded. The installation will then begin.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

To install using the DS Management Software downloaded
from Avocent:

www.avocent.com and click the Support link. On the Technical Support

page, click the Product Upgrades link.).

3. Double-click on the executable downloaded from Avocent. The installation

will begin.
