Virtual KVM
For some SPs, the appliance supports both Java and ActiveXviewers. By default, the appliance will attempt to provide the
user with the ActiveX vKVMoption if supported for that SPtype. If ActiveXis not supported by the client browser, the
appliance will only provide a Java-based vKVMsession. If you wish to change the default vKVMoption and if vKVMis
supported by the SP, from the Modify SPpage, select whether Java or ActiveXis the preferred viewer. You can then open a
session by selecting the SPfrom the Targets tab, by clicking the Sessions tab and clicking Virtual KVM/Media.
NOTE: Microsoft Internet Explorer is the only browser that supports ActiveX.
