Question: Are any of the following Avocent switch models still supportable with dsview 4.x software: dsr2010, dsr2020, dsr2035, dsr2161.
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,

The latest Dsview version that supports the DSR appliances product line is version 4.5.0.247. Later software versions will not continue to support those parts.

For a replacement, you may be interested in the Avocent Mergepoint Unity series (if you already have Dsview 4.x), the similar Raritan Dominion KX3 series, or Adders INFINITY unlimited end-point Desktop-over-IP Matrix solution.
