Virtual Media Options
The operating system on the target computer must have a USB mass storage driver installed in
order to use Virtual Media. As the BIOS on some systems does not always support mass storage
emulation on the USB interface, the system default is to disable USB mass storage unless an
image is loaded. This option may be unselected to use.
1. Do one of the following:
a. Click Save to save settings.
b. Click Reset to Defaults to restore system defaults.
c. Click Reset to restore original settings.
Image on Windows Share
In this section of the page, you can enable the Spider to access a CD-ROM image up to 4.7 GB on
a Windows shared folder via SAMBA. The Spider then makes that image accessible to the target
computer by emulating a USB disk drive.
Note: Windows 2003 and Windows Vista do not support this feature.
Appropriate administrative permissions to access the host and file are needed, as well as the
ability to see that computer over the network from the Spider.
The connection remains mounted until the current user logs out or the Spider is rebooted. Other
client systems logging into the Spider will see the active image in all Virtual Media pages.
To share a CD-ROM image, perform the following steps.
1. Enter the following: fields.
2. Do one of the following:
a. To discard your changes, click Reset.
