4-2 Virtual Media
1. Open the drive-redirection application.
2. Specify the parameters of the network connection.
a. Device
This is the IP address of the RIPM to which you would like to connect.
b. Port
This is the network port. By default, the RIPM uses the remote console port
(#443). You may change this value if you have changed the remote console
port in your RIPM's network settings.
c. Secure Connection
Enable this box to establish a secure connection via SSL. This maximizes
security; however, it might reduce connection speed.
3. Select the drive you would like to redirect. All available devices (drive
letters) are shown. Please note that the RIPM shares the whole drive, not just
one partition, with the remote computer. If you have a hard disc with more than
one partition, all drive letters that belong to it will be redirected. Use
the "Refresh" button to regenerate the list of drive letters, especially for a
USB stick.
4. Write Support
Warning: Use this feature with caution. Write support allows the remote
computer to write to your local drive. If both the remote and the local systems
try to write data to the same device simultaneously, the file system on the
drive will be destroyed. Please use this feature only when you are completely
confident that you can to do so safely.
Note: Belkin does not recommend enabling write support when
redirecting hard disks and is not responsible for data lost or corrupted
during this process.
5. Authenticate the device. To use drive redirection, you must authenticate on
the RIPM using a valid username and password. You will require permission to
change the virtual disc configuration.
