UltraLink 2 DVI Installation and Operation Manual 33
The Virtual Media Drive Selection Screen lists all drives that are 2 GB or less under the heading Remote Drive.
To make a drive available on the host computer, clicking the check button to the left of the drive name. Clicking
OK in the screen closes it and creates a virtual drive on the host computer with the contents of the entire drive.
Open the virtual drive to copy or use the desired files.
If an ISO image is to be opened as a virtual drive, click the Add Disk Image File button. This will add the ISO
image to the Remote Drives list. Click the Create ISO Image option to create a bootable drive on the host
computer. This can be useful when upgrading the host computer.
The Remote File or Folder section of the menu provides another method for making files or folders available to
the host computer by browsing for them on the connecting computer.
Hosts Button and Menu
If the UL2-DVI is connected to a switch with a bank of computers, the Hosts button provides a way to switch
between these computers. Using the Hosts button and its menu is the best way to switch between the
computers on the connected switch, since the screen calibration details are remembered by the unit and
reused, if calibration has been done at least once for each host.
Figure 45. Hosts Button and Menu
Hosts are defined in the UL2-DVI in the Hosts Configuration screen. This is described in detail in the
Configuration section. At least two hosts must be defined in the Hosts Configuration screen for the Hosts
button to be visible on the VNC Viewer toolbar.
Power Button and Menu
The Power button displays a menu which allows power to a host computer to be turned off, turned on, or the
computer may be rebooted. This functionality requires the installation and configuration of external serially
controlled power switches.
Figure 46. Power Button and Menu
To use the Power Menu, click the Power button and select the desired option to control the power to the
connected host. Since both Switch Off and Reboot cause power to the connected host computer to be
interrupted, these options should be used cautiously unless the normal system shutdown procedure has been
completed. They can be used to shut down or restart a computer which is not responding to normal
commands.
