priate AC power source.

the rear of the AutoView switch. For an AVRIQ
module, plug one end of a CAT 5 cable (up to
100 feet or 30 meters) into a numbered port
and the other end into the RJ-45 connector on
the AVRIQ module. For an IAC module, plug the
CAT 5 connector into a numbered port.
Connecting servers to AVRIQ
modules or IAC modules
Plug the AVRIQ or Integrated Access Cable
(IAC) module keyboard, monitor and mouse
connectors into the appropriate ports on the
