The Avocent DSR2020 has been replaced by the
Avocent DSR2030.
Avocent DSR2020 16-port IP KVM
The Avocent 16-port, 2 digital pathway DSR2020 KVM over
IP switch provides 2 users with remote BIOS-level control
of sixteen PS/2, USB, Sun and serial based computers and
network devices over UTP cabling. The advanced DSRIQ server
interface cables implemented with each computer automatically
assigns and maintains unique server names for each attached
devices along with providing users with a reduction in cable
clutter. Local USB and PS2 ports provide users with access
to all attached computers at the rack. Also included on
the DSR2020 is a port to enable users to remotely power
cycle down servers and an external modem port for fail-safe
remote access if the network is down. DSView 3 management
software provides users with failover authentication by
implementing a hub and spoke architecture. This unique and
secure KVM over IP access method allows DSR users to authenticate
with a central management Hub server or one of 15 mirror
Spoke servers.
