Instruction Manual

except from the host.

CD-ROM Web Server Requirements:

•Data must be hosted on a web server that the SV1115IPEXT can access directly.

•An image of a bootable CD-ROM disk can be used by the BIOS to boot an operating system.

•The image file itself may be any size, but it will typically be less than 700 megabytes. Normally this file will be an ISO image (an ISO-9660 file system) but any disk image may be used.

•Web server must support “byte ranges”. Persistent connections are used, if available, as this greatly improves performance. “Read-only” access is provided; writing is not supported.

•CD-Rom block size must be 2048 bytes. Unfortunately, XA-Data type tracks are not supported.

Booting from USB Disk

If the host computer's BIOS supports USB boot devices, it is possible to boot from the emulated CD-ROM or floppy. This allows complete operating system replacement without any on-site intervention.

The first step is getting a bootable disk image onto the emulated floppy or CD-ROM. For CD-ROM images, you will need an ISO image from a disk that contains special bits to enable boot (“El Torito” standard). Nothing special is needed when reading the ISO from a working, bootable CD-ROM. To create a bootable floppy, you can format the emulated floppy from the target system, or read the data from a working boot floppy. This can be done from Windows using Disk Copy (right click on the drive letter in the Windows Explorer) or by using a program like “RAWRITE”.

Once you have a bootable image (CD-ROM or floppy) working on the Server Remote Control unit, you must adjust your BIOS settings to tell it to boot from a USB device. NOTE: You must select USB CD-ROMas the boot device for the BIOS, if using a CD- ROM image and USB Floppy if using a floppy image.

Clicking on Logout will terminate your Web Interface section. To re-initiate the Web Interface, you will be required to re-enter your username and password.

To launch or disconnect a Virtual Network connection with the controlled computer, click on Connect or Disconnect as appropriate
