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 module and single
CAT 5 cabling. This allows you higher server density while providing greater
airflow and cooling capacity. The DSRIQ module 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
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.
