16 AutoView 1000R/ AutoView 2000R Installer/User Guide

To add a legacy KVM switch:

1. Mount the legacy switch into your rack cabinet. Locate a length of CAT 5

cabling to connect your appliance to the AVRIQ for your legacy switch.

2. Attach one end of the CAT 5 cabling to the RJ-45 connector on the AVRIQ.

3. Connect the other end of the CAT 5 cable to a port on the back of your

AutoView 1000R/2000R.

4. Attach the keyboard, monitor and mouse connectors of the AVRIQ to a

user port on your legacy cascade switch.

5. Connect the servers to your Avocent cascade switch according to the

instructions included with the device.

6. Power cycle the legacy switch to enable the cascade code.

7. Repeat steps 2-5 for all cascade switches you want to attach to

your appliance.

To connect the network and turn on your AutoView 1000R/2000R:

1. Connect your network cable from the LAN port on the rear of the

AutoView 1000R/2000R appliance to your network.

2. The components in the AutoView 1000R/2000R system may be turned on

in any order. However, since the AVRIQ modules are powered by the

servers, turn on the servers ﬁ rst and then turn on all attached systems for

the most efﬁ cient startup.

Adding Servers

While you can configure the entire AutoView 1000R/2000R system through

either the OSCAR or AVWorks interfaces, we recommend first adding server

names to OSCAR at the local analog station prior to adding or discovering the

appliance in AVWorks at the remote digital station.

To add server names:

1. Launch OSCAR at the local analog station and input all server names. You

can also customize OSCAR as well as access the AutoView 1000R/2000R

from the local analog station. See Chapter 3 for detailed instructions on

OSCAR setup and conﬁ guration.

2. After you install AVWorks on each remote digital station, launch AVWorks

and click Add New Appliance to add the new AutoView 1000R/2000R. The

server names you entered in OSCAR will now display in AVWorks for all

servers/AVRIQ modules that are powered up and online. AVRIQ modules

that are ofﬂ ine can be added later using the resync feature. See the

AVWorks Installer/User Guide that ships with your appliance.
