Access the DSR1024 switch via network connection
No special software or drivers are required on the attached, or client, computers.
NOTE: The client connects to the server housing the DSView ® management software using an Internet
browser. For modem access, you must install DSR Remote Operations software included on the DSView 3
software CD-ROM (see the DSView Installer/User Guide for more information).
Users access the DSR1024 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.
Simple access to any target device
When a user accesses the DSView Server software, 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. For more
information about the Video Viewer, see Chapter 4. Figure 1.1 illustrates an example of a typical
DSR1024 switch configuration.
