2 DSR Switch Installer/User Guide
The DSRIQ-SRL (serial) module is a DCE device that provides the primary interface between a
serial device and a DSR switch. It provides VT100 terminal emulation, break suppression and port
history in a compact, convenient module.
Access the DSR switch via network connection
No special software or drivers are required on the attached, or client, computers.
NOTE: The client connects to the server containing the DSView ® management software using an Internet
browser. For modem access, you must install DSR Remote Operations software included on the DSView
software CD-ROM (see the DSView online help for more information).
Users access the DSR switch and all attached systems via Ethernet or using a V.34, V.90 or V.92
modem from a client computer, such as a PC. Clients can be located anywhere a valid network
connection exists.
Two modes of access
The DSR switch contains a built in web server that manages basic switching tasks. As your needs
grow, you can upgrade to the DSView 3 software and manage every KVM switch in your
installation from one simple to use web interface.
Easy access to any target device
When a user accesses the switch, a listing of all target devices to which the user has permission to
view and manage is displayed. When a user selects a target device from the list, the video of the
selected target device is displayed in a Video Viewer window.
