Local Port Operation
The AutoView 3050/3100/3200 switch includes a local port on the back. This port enables you to
connect a keyboard, monitor and mouse to the switch for direct access. The AutoView 3050/3100/
3200 switches include the OSCAR
graphical user interface for configuring your system and
selecting target devices.
Basic Operations
Viewing and selecting ports and servers
Use the Main dialog box to view, configure and control target devices in the AutoView 3050/3100/
3200 switching system. You may view the target devices by name, port or by the unique Electronic
ID (EID) embedded in each IQ module. You will see an OSCAR interface-generated port list by
default when you first launch the OSCAR interface.
The Port column indicates the port to which a target device is connected.
Selecting a target device
Use the Main dialog box to select a target device. When you select a target device, the AutoView
3050/3100/3200 switch reconfigures the keyboard and mouse to the settings for the selected target
device.
