Chapter 1 – Product Overview

Features and Benefits

Avocent’s DSR combines analog and digital technology to provide flexible,

centralized control of data center servers. This solution provides enterprise

customers with a significant reduction of cable volume, secure remote access

and flexible server management from anywhere at anytime.

The DSR consists of a rack-mountable KVM switch configurable for analog

or digital connectivity. Models currently available include the DSR1161, the

DSR2161 and the DSR4160. Each DSR model has 16 input ports and provides

enhanced video quality of 1280 x 1024 for digital users (up to 10 meters) and

1600 x 1280 for the local user.

The DSR works over standard LAN connections. Up to four simultaneous

users can access servers across a 100BaseT Ethernet connection or directly

through a local port on the DSR for digital KVM and administration, depending

on the model selected. The IP-based DSR appliance gives you flexible server

management control from anywhere in the world.

Reduce cable bulk

With server densities ever increasing, cable bulk remains one of the major

concerns of every network administrator. The DSR significantly relieves KVM

cable volume in the rack by utilizing the innovative DSRIQ cable and single

CAT 5 cabling. This allows you higher server density while providing greater

airflow and cooling capacity. The DSRIQ cable is powered directly from the

server and provides Keep-alive functionality whether or not the DSR unit is

powered up.

Access the DSR via network connection

No special software or drivers are required on the attached, or Host, computers.

Users access the DSR unit and all attached systems via Ethernet from a PC

running the DSView application. This software resides on the user PC. User

4DSR Installer/User Guide

PCs can be located anywhere a valid network connection exists. The DSR unit

can be configured on a separate network from your data network, allowing

access to your servers even if your applications network is down.

DSView provides simple point and click access to any server

When a user connects, the DSView application will display a listing of all

computers and serial devices to which the user has permission to access. When

a user selects a computer from the list, the video of the selected computer is

displayed in the program window. Multiple servers can be accessed by one user.

Each additional computer’s video will appear in a separate program window.

DSAdmin and DSAuthentication Service create and manage user

permissions with DES encrypted security

An administrator describes the configuration of computers attached to the

DSR using an application called DSAdmin. Once the topology is described,

the administrator then establishes which computers a user has permission to

access. Usernames and passwords are derived from Windows NT, eliminating

the need for redundant user databases. Once the topology is established, the

DSAuthentication Service software manages the system’s user permissioning.

DSView polls the server for access permissions on power-up and every time

a switch is initiated for the most current permissions possible. A refresh is

also available for immediate updates to a user’s access profile. In addition to

the permissioning function, the DSAuthentication Service also stores pertinent

information about attached devices in a database. Room location, rack location

and computer type can all be stored for quick reference.

Safety Precautions

ENGLISH

To avoid potential video and/or keyboard problems when using Avocent products,

ensure that the computer and monitor are on the same phase if the building has

3-phase AC power. 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 computer and monitor for proper polarity and grounding.

•Use only with grounded outlets at both the computer and monitor. When

using a backup power supply (UPS), power the computer, the monitor and

the DSR unit off the supply.

NOTE: The AC inlet is the main disconnect.
