manual abstract
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Canadian Notification This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Cet appareil numerique de la classe A est conforme a la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

They provide customers with a significant reduction of cable volume, secure remote access and flexible server management from anywhere at anytime. Each AutoView 3100/3200 switch model consists of the following features: •a rack mountable keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) switch, configurable for analog (local) or digital (remote) connectivity •supports Universal Serial Bus (USB) keyboards and mice •video resolutions supported up to 1280 x 1024 for remote users •enhanced video quality of up to 1600 x 1200 available to local users via the video port •user peripheral ports for PS/2 and USB keyboards and mice •accessibility to target devices across a 1000BaseT LAN port •accessibility to target devices directly through a local port The AutoView 3100/3200 switches give you flexible target device management control from anywhere in the world. Reduce cable bulk With server densities continually increasing, cable bulk remains a major concern for network administrators. The AutoView 3100/3200 switches significantly reduce KVM cable volume in the rack by utilizing the innovative AVRIQ module and a single, industry-standard Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) CAT 5 cabling. The AVRIQ module is powered directly from the target device and provides Keep Alive functionality when the AutoView 3100/3200 switch is not powered. The AVRIQ-SRL (serial) module is a DCE device that provides the primary interface between a serial device and 1021/10221024an AutoView 3100/3200 switch. It provides VT100 terminal emulation, break suppression and port history in a compact, convenient module. On-board Web Interface The AutoView 3100/3200 switch also provides a built-in web interface to handle all KVM switching needs. Featuring secure “point-and-click” web browser-based access to control any attached device, the AutoView switch web interface provides a Video Viewer window that allows you to control the keyboard, monitor and mouse functions of the connected target device in real time. See Chapter 4 for more details.

For best results, they should be on the same circuit. To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to equipment, please observe the following precautions: •Do not use a 2-wire power cord in any Avocent product configuration. •Test AC outlets at the target device and monitor for proper polarity and grounding. •Use only with grounded outlets at both the target device and monitor. When using a backup Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), power the target device, the monitor and the AutoView 3100/ 3200 switch from the UPS. NOTE: The AC inlet is the main power disconnect. Rack Mount Safety Considerations •Elevated Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Use care not to exceed the rated maximum ambient temperature of the switch. •Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. •Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading. •Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurr...
