User guide

4. In the Session Lock area, enable the Virtual Media locked to KVM session checkbox if you
wish to close the virtual media session when the associated KVM session is closed. When
this feature is disabled an active virtual media session will remain active when the
associated KVM session is closed.
5. In the Drive Mappings area, choose an access mode from the Virtual Media Access Mode
menu: read-only or read-write.
When the access mode is read-only, the user will not be able to write data to the
mapped drive on the client machine. When the access mode is read-write, the user will
be able to read and write data to the mapped drive.
If the drive is a read-only drive (for example, CD/DVD drives or ISO images), the
access mode setting will be ignored. If the drive on the client machine is read-write
(for example, a mass storage device or USB removal media), setting read-only access
mode will prevent the user from writing data to the client machine.
6. In the Encryption Level area, enable one or more encryption levels for the virtual media
session: DES, 3DES, 128-Bit SSL or AES. Any combination of selections (or no selection)
is valid.
7. If the KVM switch supports virtual media, the Virtual Media Access per IQ Module
section lists all USB2 or PS2M IQ modules. The list includes details about each IQ
module, including a virtual media status of Enabled or Disabled. The list of IQ modules
may require multiple pages; you can filter the list by column or click the arrows to move to
a page. You can also click Customize to specify what is displayed in this section. For
information about filtering and customizing, see Using Windows on page 30.
Select the checkbox next to each IQ module for which you want to enable/disable
virtual media and click Enable VM or Disable VM respectively. The preset virtual
media status is enabled.
NOTE: If the KVM switch does not support virtual media, the Virtual Media Access Per IQ module and associated
buttons and links are not displayed.
8. Click Save and then click Close. The Units View window will open.
Defining exit macros
Since clients are running remotely on PCs, certain commands must be sent to the controlled
target device using keyboard macros. For example, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete on your keyboard
resets the PC running the client rather than resetting the target device. To reset the target
device, a macro is needed. The DSView 3 management software provides numerous sequences
pre-configured for ease of operation.
