Virtual Media

The Virtual Media feature allows a drive, folder, image file, or removable disk on a user's system to

appear and act as if it were installed on the remote server.

Note: 1. Virtual Media is only supported on remote servers that use the specified adapter

cables. 2. The Virtual Media icon changes depending on the status of the virtual media

function.

Mounting Virtual Media. To mount a virtual media device:

1. Click the Virtual Media icon to open the Virtual Media dialog box.

Note: The T button at the top right opens a slider bar to adjust the transparency of the

dialog box. After making your adjustment, click anywhere in the dialog box to

dismiss the slider.

2. Click Add, then select the media source. Additional dialog boxes open to enable selection of the

drive, file, folder, or removable disk. See “Virtual Media Support” on page 105 for a list of

supported virtual media types.

3. If your device only supports full speed USB, put a check in the Disable High Speed USB

Operation Mode checkbox.

4. To add additional media sources, click Add, and select the source as many times as required. Up

to three virtual media choices can be mounted. The top three in the list are the selected sources.

To rearrange the selection order, highlight the device to be moved, then click the Up or Down

Arrow button to promote or demote it in the list.

5. Read refers to the redirected device being able to send data to the remote server. Write refers to

the redirected device being able to have data from the remote server written to it. For the

redirected device to be writable as well as readable, click to put a check in the Enable Write

checkbox. If a redirected device cannot be written to, it appears in gray.

6. To remove an entry from the list, select it and click Remove.

7. After you have made your media source selections, click Mount and the dialog box closes. The

virtual media devices that you have selected are redirected to the remote server where they show

up as drives, files, folders, etc. on the remote server's file system.

Once mounted, you can treat the virtual media as if they really existed on the remote server. Drag

and drop files to or from them, open files on the remote server for editing, and save them to the

redirected media.

Files that you save to the redirected media will actually be saved on your local client computer's

storage. Files that you drag from the redirected media will actually come from your local client

computer's storage.

8. To end the redirection, open the Control Panel and click on the Virtual Media icon. All mounted

devices are automatically unmounted.
