Using the DSR Remote Operations software
To start the DSR Remote Operations software:
1. Establish a dial-up connection to the switch from the PC containing the DSR remote operations
software.
Windows displays a dialog box that prompts the user for a username and password when a
dial-up connection is established. It is not necessary to enter a username or password in the
dialog box. When this dialog box appears, click OK to close the dialog box.
2. Once the connection has been established, select Start - Programs - Avocent DSView 3 - DSR
Remote Operations to start the DSR Remote Operations software on the PC. The Login dialog
box will appear. Log in using a valid username and password to establish a DSR Remote Oper-
ations software session with the DSR switch over the modem link
The switch will disconnect the modem connection if a user does not log in within the time
period specified by the authentication time-out value. The default authentication time-out
value (120 seconds) may be changed using the Terminal Applications menu. See the installer/
user guide for the DSR switch for more information.
The DSR switch will attempt to contact the DSView 3 server to authenticate the user. If the
DSView 3 server is unavailable, the switch will use its internal database to authenticate the
user.
3. Type the username and password to which you wish to connect and then click OK. If authenti-
cation is successful, the DSR Remote Operations window will open.
NOTE: The switch will disconnect the modem connection if there is no activity on the modem connection for the
time period specified by the inactivity time-out value. The default inactivity time-out value (15 minutes) may be
changed using the Terminal Applications menu. See the installer/user guide for the DSR switch for more
information.
To exit the DSR Remote Operations software:
Select File - Exit from the menu.
