Appendix B: Using the DSR Remote Operations Software
The DSR Remote Operations software provides a subset of DSView 3 software and OBWI
functionality that allows access to a supported DSR switch when an Ethernet connection is not
available. For example, if you are in a branch office and your Ethernet network is down, you may
still access your remote server network by attaching a v.34, v.90 or v.92-compatible modem to the
modem port on a supported DSR switch for
KVM access, administration and flexible server
management control from anywhere in the world.
The following operations are supported:
• Establishing a KVM session to a target device connected to the switch
• Controlling the power sockets of a power device attached to the DSR switch SPC port
• Rebooting the switch
• Retrieving and displaying the switch version
All other DSView 3 software and OBWI options (including using virtual media) are not available
when using the DSR Remote Operations software.
The following Video Viewer window commands are not available when using the DSR Remote
Operations
software:
• Displaying connected user information
• Creating, editing, copying and deleting macros
NOTE: Only the default Windows and Sun macro groups are available when using the Remote
Operations software.
• Refreshing the background
The DSR Remote Operations software uses an SSL-based connection to the DSR switch to
authenticate the user.
Figure B.1 illustrates how to use the DSR Remote Operations software with a DSR switch.
