Virtual Media via Remote Session
When accessing a connected computer remotely, you can use media from the computer you are accessing the KVM switch with
on the remote computer. You are also able to access media connected to the USB ports on the front of the KVM switch; however,
media connected to these ports needs to be mounted via the local console. (See Virtual Media via Local Console section under
Control Panel in Remote Session Operation for details.) To access virtual media via remote session, follow the instructions below.
Note: When accessing the KVM remotely with a Windows Vista or 7 computer, you must run Internet Explorer as an administrator for virtual media to
function properly.
1. Click the Virtual Media icon on the control panel to bring up
the following screen.
Note: The T button in the upper-right corner brings up a slider bar that
allows you to adjust the transparency of the virtual media screen. When
you're finished making an adjustment, simply click anywhere on the screen
to close the slider bar.
2. Click the Add button and then select the desired media from
the list of media sources that appears. Each selected media
source will allow you to choose the available drive, file, folder
or removable disk.
Note: If your media source is USB 1.1, check the Disable High Speed USB
Operation Mode checkbox.

3. Repeat this step to add as many media sources as you want
to the Virtual Media screen. To remove a media source from
the list, highlight it and click the Remove button.
Note: Only 3 media sources can be used at any one time, with the top
3 sources in the list being the active devices. To rearrange the device
order, highlight the desired device and use the arrow keys on the right
of the screen to move the device up or down in the list.
4. Some media sources are Read Only, whereas others are
Read/Write. Those that are Read/Write can be viewed on
the remote computer, and can have data from the remote
computer added to them. Those that are Read Only can only
be viewed. Read Only media sources will be grayed out in the
list, not allowing you to check the Enable Write checkbox to
the left of the source. Read/Write sources will not be grayed
out, and you will be able to decide whether data can be
added to them or not. By default, Read/Write sources are
displayed with the Enable Write checkbox unchecked, which
means that data cannot be added to them. To allow data
from the remote computer to be added to a media source,
simply check the Enable Write checkbox to the left of it in the
list.
5. Once all media sources are added, and the desired 3 media
sources are at the top of the list, click the Mount button to
close the dialog box and open the media sources on the
remote computer.
Note: Depending on the speed of your network and the size of the
media source, it may take 30 seconds or so for the dialog box to close
and the media to open on the remote computer.
6. To disconnect the media sources from the remote computer,
click on the Virtual Media icon in the control panel.
