The DS Series DSR2161 combines digital and analog technology into a single KVM switch for access the way you need it. The dual user 16-port system offers the flexibility of multi-user, multi-location solutions with both local and IP access for PC-based servers. The DSR2161 model contains one local port for access at the rack and two digital ports for IP access.

The DSR2161 works with Avocent's patented OSCAR GUI interface for rack level access and control and DSView Windows interface for IP-based server management at the NOC or form any location in the world. The DSRIQ smart cable provides connectivity from the DSR2161 to the server. With its CAT 5 design, the DSRIQ significantly reduces cable bulk in the rack and is an ideal solution for high density IT environments.

With DSView, you can access all of your data center devices from a single screen, making complex network access and control remarkably easier. For added user security, Avocent's DSAuth user authentication software stores permissions, topology and per-device contact information for the DS Series. It also performs third party authentication during connection to the switch.

Note: DSView and DSAuth are sold separately. See ordering details for more information.
