Supported Units
For management functions, the DSView 3 software client uses HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer
Protocol with SSL encryption) to send a request to the DSView 3 server, which then sends a
command to the managed appliance. The appliance then performs the requested function.
The DSView 3 software supports the managed appliances listed in this section. Other
appliances may be supported by plug-ins; see the Avocent web site, www.avocent.com, for a
list of plug-ins that may currently ship with the DSView 3 software and/or that can be added to
the DSView 3 software. See Plug-ins on page 399 for information about adding and managing
plug-ins in the DSView 3 software system.
