2. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the ServSwitch Agility Dual with VNC transmitter, part of the wider ServSwitch Agility family of products.
This advanced unit encodes high quality DVI video, audio and USB connections into Internet Protocol (IP) messages while offering
flexible signal switching capabilities and remote control facilities.
In concert with a ServSwitch Agility Dual receiver unit, the ServSwitch Agility Dual with VNC transmitter supports either two
single link DVI video streams or one dual link (very high resolution) DVI video stream. This is in addition to a microphone,
speakers and multiple USB peripherals. The distance between them is limited only by the size of your network.
ServSwitch Agility Dual with VNC provides a choice of link connections. Each unit supports both copper-based Gigabit
Ethernet cabling as well as Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). These can be used in parallel to provide up to 2 Gigabit con-
nection speeds with the added benefit of link redundancy that can maintain operation in the event of a failed connection.
Additionally, the ServSwitch Agility Dual with VNC includes an in-built VNC server which allows it to stream low-bandwidth ver-
sions of its high-resolution output (via a dedicated Ethernet port on the front panel) so that it may be accessed remotely, via a VNC
viewer, through any standard network.
This concise guide acts as an addendum to the ServSwitch Agility and Agility Dual user guide to provide informa-
tion about the extra features of your ServSwitch Agility Dual with VNC (ACR1012A-T).
2.1 Mixing ServSwitch Agility units
ServSwitch Agility Dual with VNC transmitters are complimentary to the standard ServSwitch Agility models which do not sup-
port dual DVI channels or fibre optic linking. It is possible to mix ServSwitch Agility, ServSwitch Agility Dual and ServSwitch
Agility Dual with VNC units on a network. However, whenever the two types are cross connected, the extra abilities of the
ServSwitch Agility Dual/ServSwitch Agility Dual with VNC units will be temporarily disabled.
2.2 ServSwitch Agility/Dual/VNC and ServSwitch iPath
Where multiple Agility units are used on a network, we have developed the ServSwitch iPath manager to allow comprehensive
and secure central control of all transmitters, receivers and users.
When using a ServSwitch iPath manager to configure Agility units, it is vital that all Agility units that you wish to locate and con-
trol are set to their factory default settings. Otherwise they will not be located by the iPath manager. If necessary, perform a fac-
tory reset on each Agility unit.
