Product Overview

Features and Benefits

The Avocent MergePoint Unity® KVM over IP and serial console switch combines analog and

digital technology to provide flexible, centralized control of data center servers and virtual

media, and to facilitate the OA&M (operations, activation and maintenance) of remote branch

offices where trained operators may be unavailable. The IP-based MergePoint Unity switch gives

you flexible target device management control and secure remote access from anywhere at

anytime.

The MergePoint Unity switch provides enterprise customers with the following features and

options:

• significant reduction of cable volume

• keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) capabilites, configurable for analog (local) or digital

(remote) connectivity

• true serial capability through Secure Shell (SSH) and Telnet

• enhanced video resolution support, up to 1600 x 1200 or 1680 x 1050 (wide-screen) native

from target to remote

• optional dual power models for redundancy

• optional support for managing intelligent power devices

• virtual media capability accessed through USB ports

• dual independent local port video paths (dedicated to ACI)

• dual stack IPv4 (DHCP) and IPv6 (DHCPv6 and auto configuration) for simultaneous access

• smart card capability

• accessibility to target devices across 10/100 or 1000BaseT (some models) LAN port(s)

• a MODEM port that supports V.34, V.90 or V.92-compatible modems that may be used to

access the switch when an Ethernet connection is not available

Reduce cable bulk

With server densities continually increasing, cable bulk remains a major concern for network

administrators. The MergePoint Unity switches significantly reduce KVM cable volume in the

rack by utilizing the innovative IQ module and single, industry-standard Unshielded Twisted

Pair (UTP) cabling. This allows a higher server density while providing greater airflow and

cooling capacity.

KVMswitching capabilities

The MergePoint Unity switch supports IQmodules, which are powered directly from the target

device and provides Keep Alive functionality when the switch is not powered. The following

IQ modules are supported:DSRIQ-PS2, DSRIQ-USB, DSRIQ-VMC, DSRIQ-SUN, DSAVIQ-

USB2 DSAVIQ-PS2M and MPUIQ-VMC modules. The DSAVIQ-USB2, DSAVIQ-PS2M

DSRIQ-VMC and MPUIQ-VMC modules are virtual media-capable. The DSRIQ-VMC and

MPUIQ-VMC modules are also smart card-capable.

True serial capabilities

The MergePoint Unity switch supports the MPUIQ-SRL module, which provides true serial

capabilities through Telnet. You can launch an SSHsession or launch a serial viewer from the

on-board web interface (OBWI) to connect the MergePoint Unity switch's attached target

devices that have an MPUIQ-SRL module.

Local and remote user interfaces

You can use the local user interface (local UI) by connecting directly to the local port to

manage the MergePoint Unity switch. You can also use the remote OBWI to manage your

switch system. The OBWI is web-browser based and is launched directly from the switch, and

any servers connected to the MergePoint Unity switch are automatically detected. The two user

interfaces share a similar look and feel for an optimal user experience.

Control of virtual media and smart card-capable appliances

The MergePoint Unity switches allow you to view, move or copy data located on virtual media

to and from any target device. Manage remote systems more efficiently by allowing operating

system installation, operating system recovery, hard drive recovery or duplication, BIOS

updating and target device backup.

The MergePoint Unity switches allow you to use smart cards in conjunction with your

MergePoint Unity switch system. Smart cards are pocket-sized cards that store and process
