Virtual Media via Local Console
When accessing the KVM via the local console, you can mount media connected to the additional USB ports on the front of the
KVM, and access it on the connected computers. After connecting a USB device to one of the USB ports on the front of the KVM,
follow the instructions below to mount it to a KVM port and access it via the connected computer.
1. Open the OSD and highlight the desired port in the side bar.
Right-click on it and select the Mount option.
2. A Virtual Media Settings box appears, which is exactly the same as the one found when mounting virtual media remotely, except
that it contains a Keep Alive check box. To add a device, click on the Add button to display the list of devices connected to the
KVMs front panel, and select the desired device. If your device is USB 1.1, check the Disable High Speed USB Operation Mode
checkbox. To keep the device mounted even after the local user logs out, check the Keep Alive checkbox.
3. Once mounted, the media device will be accessible both locally and remotely. To unmount the device, right-click on the desired
port in the OSD and select the Unmount option.
Zoom – Click this icon to zoom in on the remote display.
You can choose to display the screen at 100%, 75%, 50% or
25%. Checking the 1:1 checkbox will keep the screen contents
sized in a 1:1 ratio, regardless of whether you choose to
display the remote session at 100%, 75%, 50% or 25%.
On-Screen Keyboard – The B064-Series KVM switch
features an on-screen keyboard, available in multiple
languages, with all of the standard keyboard keys for each
language. Click this icon to display the on-screen keyboard.
• To switch to a different language keyboard, open the drop-
down list in the upper-right of the on-screen keyboard and
select the desired language.
• To expand the keyboard to include the number pad, click
on the arrow icon to the right of the language drop-down
menu.
Mouse Pointer – Click to choose how the local and
remote mouse pointers are displayed. You can choose to
display Dual mouse pointers, Crosshairs mouse pointers,
the local mouse pointer as a tiny dot (not available via Java),
or only the remote mouse pointer. Dual mouse pointers
display both local and remote mice as arrows. Crosshairs
mouse pointers display the local mouse as a cross, and the
remote mouse pointer as an arrow. When displaying the local
mouse pointer as a tiny dot, the remote mouse pointer will be
displayed as an arrow.
Mouse Sync Mode – Click to toggle between automatic
and manual mouse sync modes. When set to automatic, a
green checkmark appears on the icon. When set to manual, a
red x appears on the icon.
Note: This icon is only active on computers that are connected to
the KVM using a USB SIU. The auto sync functionality only supports
Windows and Mac (G4 and higher), and the adapter attribute OS setting
must be set to Windows or Mac. (See Port Property section under Port
Configuration in OSD Operation for details on the adapter attribute OS
setting.)
Mac and Linux Considerations
A second Mac auto sync setting is available for Mac OS X
10.4.11 and higher. If you find that enabling automatic mouse
sync per the instructions above does not provide satisfactory
results, right-click the mouse in the black text area of the
control panel, highlight the Mouse Sync Mode option and
select Automatic for MAC 2.
Although Linux does not support automatic mouse sync
mode, there is an additional setting in the Mouse Sync Mode
drop-down menu for Redhat AS3.0 systems. If you are having
difficulty synchronizing the local and remote mice, try right-
clicking the mouse in the black text area of the control panel,
highlight the Mouse Sync Mode option and select Automatic
for Redhat AS3.0.
