Before you begin

The ACS 800/8000 console server plug-in may be pre-installed in your DSView management software. If it is not, check with your Avocent representative to ensure that your version of DSView software is compatible with the ACS 800/8000 console server plug-in. Also make sure that the plug-in is installed on every hub and spoke server in your network.
The ACS 800/8000 advanced console server plug-in works for all models of ACS 800/8000 console servers regardless of the number of ports.
If your version of the DSView software does not include the plug-in, refer to the plug-in module installation instructions in the DSView 4 Installer/User Guide.
You must have DSView administrator access rights to add or manage plug-ins.
For some procedures, you will need to select the appropriate target device connected to the ACS 800/8000 advanced console server.
