Avocent 4-port D-Sub KVM Switch
The Avocent DSR1024PS2-001 is a 4-port KVM switch using a D-Sub interface for console video. It connects up to four computers through RJ-45 links while providing a single console connection set. The unit supports VGA, SVGA, XGA and SXGA monitors at 1280 x 1024 resolution. It operates in temperatures from 0ºC to 40ºC and includes USB support.
Suited for multi-system administrators
This switch suits administrators who need to control four servers or PCs from one keyboard, monitor and mouse setup. The console side offers VGA video, USB, PS/2, serial and an extra RJ-45 port for flexible peripheral attachment. Buyers who need more than four connected systems or require higher video resolutions should look at other solutions. No audio switching or digital video inputs are provided.
Maximum console video resolution
The decisive specification is the maximum console video resolution of 1280 x 1024. This limit defines the sharpest image the switch can pass to the attached monitor. If the target display or source systems demand a higher resolution, this model will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the Avocent DSR1024PS2-001 is switching correctly after connecting four servers?
Connect each server to one of the four RJ-45 PC ports, attach a VGA monitor to the 15-pin D-Sub console port, then use the front-panel buttons or hot-key sequence to cycle through ports 1 to 4 and verify that each server's video appears at 1280 x 1024.
What cables and accessories are included with the DSR1024PS2-001 and what must I purchase separately?
The unit ships with the KVM switch itself; you must supply four Cat5 RJ-45 cables for the server links, a VGA cable for the console monitor, a USB keyboard and mouse for the 4-pin USB console port, and PS/2 or serial cables only if you plan to use those legacy console connectors.
The specs list a single model DSR1024PS2-001 — are there different capacity versions to choose from?
No, this MPN defines one fixed 4-port configuration with 1280 x 1024 maximum resolution; there are no alternate port-count or resolution variants under this part number.
