About the DSView 3.0 Explorer
The DSView software resides on a host computer. A DSView Client, which is a PC with Internet
Explorer version 6.0 SP1 or later installed, may access the software by entering the web address of
the DSView software host.
When the DSView User has been logged in and authenticated, the Avocent DSView 3.0 Explorer
appears. The DSView 3.0 Explorer is the window used by DSView user to interface with the
DSView software and allows DSView users to view, access, manage and create custom groupings
for all of the supported managed appliances in the data center. The window may also be used to
specify system settings, view report information and modify profile settings.
