Video
The appliance provides optimal resolution for analog VGA, SVGA, and XGA video. Resolutions
of up to 1280 x 1024 can be achieved depending upon the length of cable that is separating the
appliance and target devices.
Flash upgradability
The appliance firmware can be upgraded to a more-current version using the Web interface, the
OSCAR interface, the VCS, or the Console menu.
See Appendix A for more information about how to upgrade the firmware.
Accessing the appliance through network connection
The appliance uses TCP/IP for communication over Ethernet. The network port supports up to
1000BASE-T Ethernet. 10BASE-T and switched 100BASE-T Ethernet can be used. The network
port gives administrators and users digital access to the switching system.
Accessing target devices
When a user accesses OSCAR, the Web interface, or the VCS, a list appears with all target devices
the user have permission to view and manage. When a target device is selected from the list, a
KVM session is created with video of the selected target device displaying in a Video Viewer
window.
NOTE: The Video Viewer requires JRE 5.0 update 11 to be installed on the computer.
