Virtual media extendsKVM capabilities by enabling target servers to remotely access mediafrom a client PC and network file servers.With this feature, media mounted on client PCs and network file serversare essentially "mounted virtually" by the target server. The target servercan then read from and write to that media as if it were physicallyconnected to the target server itself.Each KX II-101-V2 comes equipped with virtual media to enable remotemanagement tasks using the widest variety of CD, DVD, USB, audioplayback and record devices, internal and remote drives, and images.Virtual media sessions are secured using 128 or 256 bit AES, or RC4encryption.Chapter 4 Virtual Media
