Virtual Media via Remote Session

When accessing a connected computer remotely, you can use media from the computer you are accessing the KVM switch with on the remote computer. You are also able to access media connected to the USB ports on the front of the KVM switch; however, media connected to these ports needs to be mounted via the local console. (See Virtual Media via Local Console section under Control Panel in Remote Session Operation for details.) To access virtual media via remote session, follow the instructions below. Note: When accessing the KVM remotely with a Windows Vista or 7 computer, you must run Internet Explorer as an administrator for virtual media to function properly.

1.Click the Virtual Media icon on the control panel to bring up the following screen.

Note: The T button in the upper-right corner brings up a slider bar that allows you to adjust the transparency of the virtual media screen. When you’re finished making an adjustment, simply click anywhere on the screen to close the slider bar.

2.Click the Add button and then select the desired media from the list of media sources that appears. Each selected media source will allow you to choose the available drive, file, folder or removable disk.

Note: If your media source is USB 1.1, check the Disable High Speed USB Operation Mode checkbox.

3.Repeat this step to add as many media sources as you want to the Virtual Media screen. To remove a media source from the list, highlight it and click the Remove button. Note: Only 3 media sources can be used at any one time, with the top 3 sources in the list being the active devices. To rearrange the device order, highlight the desired device and use the arrow keys on the right of the screen to move the device up or down in the list.

4.Some media sources are Read Only, whereas others are Read/ Write. Those that are Read/Write can be viewed on the remote computer, and can have data from the remote computer added to them. Those that are Read Only can only be viewed. Read Only media sources will be grayed out in the list, not allowing you to check the Enable Write checkbox to the left of the source. Read/ Write sources will not be grayed out, and you will be able to decide whether data can be added to them or not. By default, Read/Write sources are displayed with the Enable Write checkbox unchecked, which means that data cannot be added to them. To allow data from the remote computer to be added to a media source, simply check the Enable Write checkbox to the left of it in the list.

5.Once all media sources are added, and the desired 3 media sources are at the top of the list, click the Mount button to close the dialog box and open the media sources on the remote computer. Note:

Depending on the speed of your network and the size of the media source, it may take 30 seconds or so for the dialog box to close and the media to open on the remote computer.

6.To disconnect the media sources from the remote computer, click on the Virtual Media icon in the control panel.
