96All KX II models support virtual media. Virtual media extends KVMcapabilities by enabling target servers to remotely access media from aclient 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 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.In This ChapterPrerequisites for Using Virtual Media ......................................................96Mounting Local Drives .............................................................................97Supported Tasks Via Virtual Media .........................................................98Supported Virtual Media Types ...............................................................98Supported Virtual Media Operating Systems ..........................................99Number of Supported Virtual Media Drives .............................................99Connecting and Disconnecting from Virtual Media ...............................100Virtual Media in a Windows XP Environment ........................................102Virtual Media in a Linux Environment ....................................................102Virtual Media in a Mac Environment ......................................................103Virtual Media File Server Setup (File Server ISO Images Only) ...........104Prerequisites for Using Virtual MediaKX II Virtual Media Prerequisites For users requiring access to virtual media, the KX II permissionsmust be set to allow access to the relevant ports, as well as virtualmedia access (VM Access port permission) for those ports.
