Avocent 8-port AutoView Commander

Control and operate all of your server room computers with just one keyboard, monitor and mouse! With the AutoView Commander, you can attach up to 64 computers and select them using front panel push-buttons, a quick keyboard sequence, or an easy-to-use pop-up menu system.

With built-in on-screen display, there is no more guessing which server is where. Just name your computers, then select them from the pop-up menu. The advanced two level security feature allows you to configure and control server access for every type of system user on-screen, for easy security monitoring and control.

The Keep Alive feature allows the attached PCs to power the Commander in the event of an AutoView power failure. Keeping the system powered up ensures continued emulation and prevents server lock-ups. This safety feature keeps you from losing valuable time and data during an emergency.

The AutoView Commander works with PC/AT and PS/2 systems, or 100% compatible machines and supports the full range of VGA monitor types. PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 or IntelliMouse type mice are supported through the rear of the unit. An internal power supply eliminates the need for external transformers.

For added compatibility with your installed equipment, AutoView Commander features an embedded mouse translation capability. Operated through the AutoView, your PS/2 style or IntelliMouse type mouse will work with any attached PC or server regardless of whether the computer has a PS/2 or serial mouse port.

For maximum flexibility, servers can be added or removed from the AutoView Commander system without powering down the switch or other attached servers.
