• Allows a company to combine multiple ISDN connections into a single Internet
connection.
NAT device
A NAT device is a network address translation (NAT) device enables the use of more
internal IP addresses than the number that are assigned. A NAT device provides IP
addresses that are not exposed outside of the device. The DSView management
software will not support network configuration where the DSView server and KVM
switch or serial console appliance are separated by a NAT device.
Negative hysteresis
Negative hysteresis is the unsigned number of counts added to the raw threshold value,
which creates the re-arm point for all sensor thresholds that are less than zero (0). A
negative hysteresis value of 0 indicates that any thresholds less than zero do not
contain hysteresis.
OSCAR interface
The OSCAR interface is a tool that is built in to Avocent appliances and allows a user
connected to the local KVM port to display and change settings in a KVM switch.
The OSCAR interface also allows a local user to connect to target devices.
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
(Open Systems Interconnection) model.
