All KX II-101-V2 models support virtual media. Virtual media extends
KVM capabilities by enabling target servers to remotely access media
from a client PC and network file servers.
With this feature, media mounted on client PCs and network file servers
are essentially "mounted virtually" by the target server. The target server
can then read from and write to that media as if it were physically
connected to the target server itself.
Each KX II-101-V2 comes equipped with virtual media to enable remote
management tasks using the widest variety of CD, DVD, USB, audio
playback and record devices, internal and remote drives, and images.
Virtual media sessions are secured using 128 or 256 bit AES, or RC4
encryption.
