AMX BENEFITS
Real-time access and high resolution video are two of the top reasons test labs use
Avocent AMX switching systems.
The AMX switch, which uses standard UTP cabling, is particularly effective in test labs
where multiple users simultaneously access and monitor testing simulation on hundreds of
servers. Access to such servers is critical because testing simulation typically requires a
large amount of hardware, software and integration testing. The AMX switching solution
provides users in multiple locations with real-time access to the test machines either from
offices down the hall or, when used with an Avocent remote IP access device, from outside
the building.
Test labs with large numbers
of users and computers will
benefit from the AMX switching
system matrix configuration. It
can accommodate a maximum
of 128 users and 4,096 servers.
in the test lab
There are several AMX switching system features beneficial to the test
lab environment:
Share mode
Any number of AMX system users share access to any one server.
Control of the server's keyboard and mouse passes from user to user,
as requested, on a time out basis.
Private mode
One tester has sole access to a server. This is critical to the success
of tests that cannot be interrupted by other users.
Scan mode
A tester switches between the videos of a number of selected
servers. The scan is stopped by simply moving the mouse or typing
on the keyboard.
DDC
Each AMX AMIQ module provides Digital Data Channel (DDC) support
for plug and play functionality testing of server video ports.
Hotkey switching
Allows a user to quickly switch between a number of servers without
using an on-screen display. This is particularly useful for testers who
connect to a small number of servers but make frequent switches.
