Chapter 6: Using the Video Viewer 189
Opening a virtual media session
NOTE: The following procedures are valid only on DSR1030, 1031, 2030, 4030 and 8030 switches that are
connected with DSRIQ-USB modules.
To launch a virtual media session:
From the Video Viewer toolbar, select Tools - Virtual Media. The Virtual Media dialog box
will appear.
If you wish to make this a reserved session, click Details, then enable the Reserved checkbox.
To map a virtual media drives:
1. Open a virtual media session from the Video Viewer toolbar by selecting Tools -
Virtual Media.
2. To map a physical drive as a virtual media drive:
a. In the Virtual Media dialog box, click the Mapped checkbox next to the drive(s) you wish
to map.
b. If you wish to limit the mapped drive to read-only access, click the Read Only checkbox
next to the drive. If the virtual media session settings were previously configured so that
all mapped drives must be read only, this checkbox will already be enabled and cannot
be changed.
You might wish to enable the Read Only checkbox if the session settings enabled read and
write access, but you wished to limit a particular drive’s access to read only.
3. To add and map an ISO or floppy image as a virtual media drive:
a. In the Virtual Media dialog box, click Add Image.
Mapped drives access
mode
You may set the access mode for mapped drives to read-only or read-write. When
the access mode is read-only, the user will not be able to write data to the mapped
drive on the client workstation. When the access mode is read-write, the user will be
able to read and write data from/to the mapped drive.
If the mapped drive is read-only by design (for example, certain CD/DVD drives or
ISO images), the configured read-write access mode will be ignored.
Setting the read-only mode can be helpful when a read-write drive such as a mass
storage device or a USB removable media is mapped, and you wish to prevent the
user from writing data to it.
Encryption level
You may configure up to three encryption levels (or none) for virtual media sessions.
Any combination is valid. The choices are: DES, 3DES and 128-bit SSL. The default
is no encryption (no encryption levels selected).
