Product Overview
Features and Benefits
The multiuser, 16-port AutoView ® 2000 switch integrates Avocent field-proven analog keyboard,
video and mouse (KVM) switching technology with advanced cable management, flexible access
for two simultaneous users and a patented, next-generation user interface. The AutoView 2000
KVM switch conveniently supports all major server platforms and features powerful on-screen
management for easy system configuration and server selection.
A unique benefit of the AutoView 2000 switch is the AVRIQ intelligent module. The AVRIQ
module with CAT 5 design dramatically reduces cable clutter, while providing optimal resolution
and video settings. The built-in memory of the AVRIQ module simplifies configuration by
assigning and retaining unique server names and Electronic ID (EID) numbers for each attached
server. The AVRIQ module is powered directly from the server and provides Keep Alive
functionality even if the AutoView switch is not powered.

AVRIQ Intelligent Module
AVRIQ modules allow direct KVM connectivity to servers in your AutoView switch. Each
AutoView 2000 switch has 16 Avocent Rack Interface (ARI) ports for connecting
AVRIQ modules.
Utilizing an AVRIQ module, you can attach additional switches to expand your AutoView switch
system. This flexibility allows you to add capacity as your data center grows.
