NOTE: When the DSView 3 server is running on a Linux system, the IP address field may
contain the loopback address. If this is not desired, edit the /etc/hosts file on the Linux
system. Add a new line above the line that defines the loopback address. The new line
should contain the IP address, followed by the host name. For example, the following new

Proxy Server
When the Avocent proxy server is used, DSView 3 software client KVM and serial session
requests are sent through the DSView 3 server rather than directly to the KVM switch or
serial console appliance, which prevents the exposure of the internal address of the
managed appliance. You may change the proxy server configuration.
