Remote Console (KVM) Operation

6.3.4 Remote Console Options Menu

Using this menu, you can do the following:



Bandwidth. Changing the bandwidth setting affects low-level connection protocol

parameters like fragment size and timeouts. If you experience performance problems

when operating over a slow connection such as a modem, the Bandwidth setting may

need to be adjusted. Use the Auto Detect option to find the correct setting for your

connection.



Keyboard/Mouse Encryption. Keyboard and Mouse data are normally encrypted

before being sent over the connection, but this can be disabled for a small performance

increase.

This menu option allows starting/stopping remote media redirection. The first two options allow

you to redirect either a local CDROM/DVD drive or else an ISO image on your local client file

system as a virtual CDROM device on the remote system. The last two options allow you to

redirect either a local floppy drive, a local USB key drive, or a floppy .img file as a virtual floppy

device on the remote system.

The virtual devices act just like any other CDROM or floppy on the remote system. They can be

read, written (assuming they are not read-only), and booted. The pair of virtual devices only

appear on the remote OS or BIOS setup menus when some media redirection is active. The

virtual devices persist across remote system resets and power up/downs. They do not

disappear from the remote system until the checkboxes are unchecked in the Remote Console

window.

Note: The virtual devices are not limited to normal floppy/CDROM sizes and will be as large as

the device or file being redirected. A USB Key drive is redirected as a virtual floppy device
