The Avocent DSR1010 is a 16‑port digital KVM‑over‑IP switch in a compact 1U rack‑mount design. It offers both analog (local rack) and IP‑based (remote over Ethernet) access to connected servers through one user session at a time. Locally, the patented OSCAR on‑screen GUI provides intuitive control; remotely, it’s managed via DSView (Windows client), plus optional DSWebview, DSAdmin, and DSAuth tools for centralized device management and security . Featuring compatibility with DSRIQ CAT‑5 smart cables, it reduces cabling clutter in high‑density setups and supports major server platforms and serial devices. In addition, it delivers robust user permissions and encrypted access through DES security, simplifying administration in hybrid environments
