The Avocent 8-port, 1 digital pathway DSR1031 KVM over IP switch provides a users with remote BIOS-level control of eight PS/2, USB, Sun and serial based computers or network devices over UTP cabling. In addition, Virtual Media access allows remote users to accomplish remote file transfers, operating system patches and testing from CDs from their remote location. The advanced DSRIQ server interface cables implemented with each computer automatically assigns and maintains unique server names for each attached device along with providing users with a reduction in cable clutter. Local PS2 and USB ports provide users with access to all attached computers at the rack. Additional ports included on the DSR1031 provides users with remote power cycling capabilities along with allowing fail-safe remote access with use of an external modem if the network is down. DSView 3 management software presents users with failover authentication by implementing a hub and spoke architecture. This unique and secure KVM over IP access method allows DSR users to authenticate with a central management Hub server or one of 15 mirror Spoke servers.

 

DSView® 3 management software is required for more advanced features such as hub and spoke failover, SNMP notifications, scheduling, Virtual Media support, and access to IPMI-enabled servers. The DSView 3 software hub and spoke architecture provides failover authentication. Users authenticate to a central management server (the hub) or one of 15 mirror servers (the spokes).

 

The 8 port DSR1031 KVM over IP switch gives administrators virtual media capability through DSView 3 software as well as all the features of the DSR1021 Administrators can remotely load software by mapping a local removable media or mass storage device to a remote server. This allows file transfers, application and OS patches, and diagnostic testing from a CD.

DSView 3 management software, with hub and spoke architecture, provides failover authentication. Users authenticate to a central management server (the hub) or one of 15 mirror servers (the spokes). SNMP and IPMI support are also provided.

FAQs

Question
Answer
Equipment
I have computers at multiple sites. How do I use the Avocent DSR switch to provide access? The DSR switch can be deployed wherever computers or servers are located. It connects to your network. Your technicians and administrators can access the attached devices directly from their desk.
Can the DSR switch provide access to other devices? The DS Series has a wide variety of connection adaptors. Use the VT100 serial adaptor to access routers, DSU or other networking devices.
How do I get access if my network connection to a site is down? The DSR switch has a port that can be connected to a modem. This provides access to the site when the IP connection is not working. By connecting the router or DSU to the DSR switch, you can diagnose WAN or server problems.
Operation
I use remote control software to manage my remote locations. How is this different? The DSR switch connects to the keyboard, video and mouse port of the computer. Unlike remote control software, the DS Series products do not require a functioning operating system, network stack, or application to be running to access the computer. By connecting externally, a CTRL-ALT-DEL command can be sent to reboot the computer. During the boot up, the BIOS can be accessed or the boot can be single stepped in order to troubleshoot boot problems. Remote control software cannot give boot level access.
Sometimes I need to cycle power to a device to reset it. How do I cycle power remotely? The DSR1031 switch has a power control port built into the appliance. By connecting this port to an Avocent SPC power control device, you can remotely check power starts and cycle power. This eliminates having to call someone at the location to explain which power switch they need to cycle.
Can remote virtual media be used with the on-board Web interface? No, remote Virtual Media requires DSView 3 management software.
Performance
Depending on my site, my link speeds can be different. How does the DSR switch handle different speeds? The DSR switch uses the Avocent Dambrackas Video Compression® (DVC) algorithm. It provides selections to reduce the number of colors, including a gray scale selection, to operate over a variety of link speeds including speeds of a dial modem.
