switches combine analog and digital technology to provide flexible, centralized
control of data center servers and virtual media, and to facilitate the OA&M (operations, activation
and maintenance) of remote branch offices where trained operators may be unavailable. They
provide enterprise customers with a significant reduction of cable volume, secure remote access
and flexible server management from anywhere at anytime.
Each DSR2035/8035 switch model consists of the following features:
• a rack mountable keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) switch, configurable for analog (local) or
digital (remote) connectivity
• video resolutions supported up to 1280 x 1024 for remote users
• enhanced video quality of up to 1600 x 1200 available to local users via the video port
• user peripheral ports for PS/2 and USB keyboards and mice
• 2 SPC ports that can be used to connect to an SPC power control device
• virtual media capability accessed through any one of five USB ports
• accessibility to target devices across one of two 1000BaseT LAN ports that are used to
establish dual Ethernet connections with the second Gigabit Ethernet port (LAN2) serving
as a backup during a failover event on LAN1
• accessibility to target devices directly through a local port
• a MODEM port that supports V.34, V.90 or V.92-compatible modems that may be used to
access the switch when an Ethernet connection is not available
The IP-based DSR2035/8035 switches give you flexible target device management control from
anywhere in the world.
