Features and Benefits

The Avocent SwitchView

™

IP adds economical remote access capability

to a PS/2 server or existing KVM switch. Using industry standard TCP/IP

connectivity, this KVM over IP

remote access device provides BIOS level

access to a PS/2 server via standard IP connection. The SwitchView IP can

easily integrate with a KVM switch to offer convenient IP-based access and

control to your IT environment. With the secure browser-based access of

SwitchView IP, you can control your servers anywhere, anytime. You can

even remotely boot your business-critical servers from any location.

Security

For enhanced security, 128 bit encryption ensures secure remote connec-

tions via industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connectivity. Switch-

View IP also eases configuration complexities. Unlike software remote

access solutions, SwitchView IP does not require agents for each host server.

FLASH upgradeable

The SwitchView IP is FLASH upgradeable for fast and easy updates via the

Avocent web site.

System log

A system log enables you to track user login and logout, file access, critical

events and other activities. Log files can be saved, printed and emailed.

The SwitchView IP unit

The SwitchView IP provides secure control and management of the host

computer through a web interface and client computer. The SwitchView

IP supports a PS/2 keyboard and mouse on the local console and a USB

keyboard and mouse for the host system. The SwitchView IP does not

require any host video drivers. Figure 1.1 shows a typical SwitchView

IP configuration.
