OBWI

You can also use the OBWI to manage your SCS. The OBWI is launched
directly from the SCS and does not require a software server or any installation.
With the addition of the optional Dell RAK installed, you can also establish
remote KVM and virtual media sessions to target devices. For more information,
see "Dell Remote Access Key (RAK)" on page 4.

Terminal Console Interface

The terminal console interface is accessed through the "10101" setup port. A
terminal screen or a PC running terminal emulation software can be used to
access these screens.

Virtual Media and Smart Card-capable Switches

The SCS allows you to view, move, or copy data located on local media and
smart cards. Smart cards are pocket-sized cards that store and process
information including identification and authentication information to enable
access to computers, networks, and secure rooms or buildings.

A virtual media or a smart card reader can be connected directly to the USB
ports on the SCS. In addition, virtual media or smart card readers may be
connected to any remote workstation that is running the remote OBWI, SCS
Software, or Avocent management software, and is connected to the SCS using
an Ethernet connection.

NOTE: To open a virtual media or smart card session with a target device, you must
first connect the target device to an SCS using a USB 2.0 or USB+CAC SIP.

IPv4 and IPv6 Capabilities

The SCS is compatible with systems using either of the currently used Internet
Protocol Versions, IPv4 or IPv6. You can change the network settings and
choose either IPv4 or IPv6 mode via the terminal console, OSCAR interface, or
OBWI.
