Power device
An Avocent or supported third party cascade device that allows the remote controlling
of target device power.
Positive hysteresis
Positive hysteresis is the unsigned number of counts subtracted from the raw threshold
value, which creates the re-arm point for all sensor thresholds that are greater than zero
(0). A positive hysteresis value of 0 indicates that any thresholds greater than zero do
not contain hysteresis.
PPP (Point to Point Protocol)
PPP is a set of industry-standard framing and authentication protocols included with
Windows NT Remote Access Service to ensure interoperability with third party remote
access software. PPP negotiates configuration parameters for multiple layers of the OSI

and is supported by the DSView 3 software. Serial console appliances include the ACS
console server, the legacy CCM and CPS appliances and other units supported by
plug-ins. The ACS console server is supported by a plug-in; for detailed procedures
and what DSView 3 operations the ACS console server supports, see the corresponding
plug-in documentation for detailed procedures.
Serial session
A serial session is a type of target device session in which the target device contains a
serial connection (typically a Linux server TTY port or a router) and is connected
through a serial console appliance. A Telnet Viewer connection exists between the
DSView 3 software client and the serial console appliance. The appliance converts the
Telnet information to serial information.
Server
