Tiering The Avocent iKVM Switch From An Analog KVM Switch
The Avocent iKVM switch can be tiered from analog KVM switches such as the Dell 2160AS and 180AS, as well as many Avocent analog KVM switches. Many switches may be tiered without the need for a SIP.
Prerequisites
- Dell PowerConnect 180AS, 2160AS (version 1.0.3.2 or later) or Avocent Autoview 2020, 2030 (version 1.6.0.4 or later): Seamless tiering using ACI port and Cat 5 cable
- Avocent Autoview 1400, 1500, 2000, 1415, 1515, 2015u: Avocent USB SIP (DSRIQ-USB) required with Cat 5 cable
Steps
- Press <Prnt Scrn> to launch the iKVM Switch OSCAR.
- Click . The Menu dialog box is displayed.
- Select Slot to display servers numerically by slot number.
- Set a screen delay time of at least 1 second.
- Click OK.
Results
NOTE: Soft switching allows
you to switch servers using a hot key sequence. To soft switch to
a server, press <Prnt Scrn> and type the first few characters
of its name or number. If you have a Delay Time set and you press
the key sequences before that time has elapsed, OSCAR does not display.
