Virtual Media via Local Console

When accessing the KVM via the local console, you can mount media connected to the additional USB ports on the front of the KVM, and access it on the connected computers. After connecting a USB device to one of the USB ports on the front of the KVM, follow the instructions below to mount it to a KVM port and access it via the connected computer.

1.Open the OSD and highlight the desired port in the side bar. Right-click on it and select the Mount option.

2.A Virtual Media Settings box appears, which is exactly the same as the one found when mounting virtual media remotely, except that it contains a Keep Alive check box. To add a device, click on the Add button to display the list of devices connected to the KVMs front panel, and select the desired device. If your device is USB 1.1, check the Disable High Speed USB Operation Mode checkbox. To keep the device mounted even after the local user logs out, check the Keep Alive checkbox.

3.Once mounted, the media device will be accessible both locally and remotely. To unmount the device, right-click on the desired port in the OSD and select the Unmount option.

Zoom – Click this icon to zoom in on the remote display. You can choose to display the screen at 100%, 75%, 50% or 25%. Checking the 1:1 checkbox will keep the screen contents sized in a 1:1 ratio, regardless of whether you choose to display the remote session at 100%, 75%, 50% or 25%.

On-Screen Keyboard – The B064-Series KVM switch features an on-screen keyboard, available in multiple languages, with all of the standard keyboard keys for each language. Click this icon to display the on-screen keyboard.

•To switch to a different language keyboard, open the drop-down list in the upper-right of the on-screen keyboard and select the desired language.

•To expand the keyboard to include the number pad, click on the arrow icon to the right of the language drop-down menu.

Mouse Pointer – Click to choose how the local and remote mouse pointers are displayed. You can choose to display Dual mouse pointers, Crosshairs mouse pointers, the local mouse pointer as a tiny dot (not available via Java), or only the remote mouse pointer. Dual mouse pointers display both local and remote mice as arrows. Crosshairs mouse pointers display the local mouse as a cross, and the remote mouse pointer as an arrow. When displaying the local mouse pointer as a tiny dot, the remote mouse pointer will be displayed as an arrow.

Mouse Sync Mode – Click to toggle between automatic and manual mouse sync modes. When set to automatic, a green checkmark appears on the icon. When set to manual, a red x appears on the icon. Note: This icon is only active on computers that are connected to the KVM using a USB SIU. The auto sync functionality only supports Windows and Mac (G4 and higher), and the adapter attribute OS setting must be set to Windows or Mac. (See Port Property section under Port Configuration in OSD Operation for details on the adapter attribute OS setting.)

Mac and Linux Considerations

A second Mac auto sync setting is available for Mac OS X 10.4.11 and higher. If you find that enabling automatic mouse sync per the instructions above does not provide satisfactory results, right-click the mouse in the black text area of the control panel, highlight the Mouse Sync Mode option and select Automatic for MAC 2.

Although Linux does not support automatic mouse sync mode, there is an additional setting in the Mouse Sync Mode drop-down menu for Redhat AS3.0 systems. If you are having difficulty synchronizing the local and remote mice, try right-clicking the mouse in the black text area of the control panel, highlight the Mouse Sync Mode option and select Automatic for Redhat AS3.0.
