Features and Benefits
The Avocent AutoView 1000R and 2000R model switches combine analog and
digital technology to provide flexible, centralized control of data center
servers. This solution delivers secure digital access and flexible server
management from anywhere at any time.
NOTE: Throughout the documentation you will see the word “appliance” used generically to
describe the AutoView 1000R/2000R switch.
The AutoView 1000R/2000R consists of a rack mountable keyboard, video and
mouse (KVM) switch configurable for analog or digital connectivity. Each
AutoView 1000R/2000R has 16 Avocent Rack Interface (ARI) ports for
connecting devices and operates over standard LAN connections. Access
servers across a 100BaseT Ethernet connection or directly through an analog
port on the AutoView for analog KVM connectivity and administration. Video
resolutions through the analog port can be up to 1600 x 1280 with an end-to-
end cable length of up to 15 meters (50 feet). Digital users can achieve video
resolution of up to 1280 x 1024 with a cable length of up to 10 meters (32 feet)
between the AutoView 1000R/2000R and the server.

AVRIQ intelligent adaptor
The AVRIQ intelligent adaptors with CAT 5 design dramatically reduce cable
clutter, while providing optimal digital display resolution and video settings.
The built-in memory of the AVRIQ simplifies configuration by assigning and
retaining unique server names or Electronic ID (EID) numbers for each
attached server. This integrated intelligence enhances security and prevents
unauthorized access to a server through cable manipulation. The AVRIQ is
powered directly from the server and provides Keep Alive functionality even if
the AutoView is not powered.

Access via network connection
No special software or drivers are required on the attached computers. Digital
users access the AutoView and all attached systems via Ethernet from a PC
running AVWorks. This software resides on the user’s PC only. User PCs can
be located anywhere a valid network connection exists. The AutoView can be
configured on a separate network from your data network, allowing access to
your servers even if your applications network is down.
Point and click control with AVWorks software
The AVWorks software is a cross-platform management application that
allows you to view and control the AutoView 1000R/2000R and all attached
servers. The AVWorks software provides secure authentication, data transfers
and username/password storage. By utilizing a browser interface for
navigation with an intuitive split-screen interface, this software provides you
with a single point of access for your entire system. From here, you can
manage the AutoView, install a new AutoView or launch a video session to a
system server. Multiple servers can be accessed by one user; each additional
computer’s video will appear in a separate program window.
NOTE: Throughout the documentation and AVWorks user interface, you will see the word
“appliance” used generically to describe the AutoView 1000R/2000R switch.
