Extensive Remote Console Switch Management
The Remote Console Switch Software allows you to add and manage multiple switches in one system. Once a new switch is installed, you can configure switch parameters, control and preempt user video sessions, and execute numerous control functions, such as rebooting and upgrading your switch. From the intuitive Management Panel (MP), you can enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps, configure servers and tiered switches, as well as manage user databases.
The Remote Console Switch Software is designed to be compatible with the Dell OpenManage™ IT Assistant Event Viewer, allowing system administrators to consolidate system event reports.
Interoperability with Avocent Products
The Remote Console Switch Software can also be used to manage Avocent® A1000R and A2000R Remote Console Switches allowing increased flexibility in the management of systems.
In addition, the Remote Console Switch Software includes support for Avocent IQ Modules (AVRIQ’s), expanding the range of server types that can be managed. The addition of support for Avocent AVRIQ’s means that the following connections are now supported:
• PS/2 (Dell Server Interface Pod (SIP) and Avocent AVRIQ)
• USB (Dell SIP and Avocent AVRIQ)
• Serial (Avocent AVRIQ)
• Sun (Avocent AVRIQ)
NOTE: Dell SIPs are not supported on Avocent A1000R and A2000R Remote Console Switches.
