Operations

Viewing and Selecting Ports and Servers

Use the OSCAR interface Main dialog box to view, configure and control servers in the AutoView
2020/2030 switching system. View your servers by name, port or by the unique Electronic ID
number (EID) embedded in each AVRIQ or IAC module. You will see an OSCAR interface-
generated port list by default when you first launch the OSCAR interface.

The Port column indicates the ARI port to which a server is connected. If you connect a legacy
KVM switch to the main AutoView 2020/2030 switch or an AutoView 2020/2030 cascaded
switch, the port numbering displays the ARI port first, then the switch port to which the server
is connected.

To access the Main dialog box:

Press

Print Screen

to launch the OSCAR interface. The Main dialog box displays.

key twice within one second to launch the OSCAR

interface. You can use this key sequence in any place you see Print Screen throughout this installer/user
guide. See page 19 for more information.
