The Video Viewer also provides access to the Virtual Media window. You can
use the Virtual Media window to map a physical drive such as a disk, CD-ROM,
or DVD-ROM data drive, onto a target device so that the media device is
available to the target device even though it is not directly connected. For more
information on the Virtual Media window, see "Using the Viewer" on page 61.
Interoperability with Avocent® Products
The RCS software can be used to access some Avocent switches. You can also
manage those Avocent switches, allowing increased flexibility in the
management of systems.
In addition, the RCS software includes support for Avocent IQ modules,
expanding the range of server types that can be accessed/managed. The addition
of support for Avocent IQ modules means that the following connections are
now supported:
• PS/2 modules (Dell and Avocent modules available)
• USB modules, including Virtual Media and Smart Card/Common
Access Card (CAC) versions (Dell and Avocent modules available)
• VT100 Serial modules (Avocent modules available)
• True Serial modules (Dell and Avocent modules available)
• Sun modules (Avocent modules available)
• PS2M modules (Avocent modules available)
NOTE: Dell SIP modules are supported on directly connected Avocent switches.
NOTE: Dell 1081AD and 2161AD switches do not support true serial modules.
Operating Features
The RCS software features include target device naming, target device name
displays, sorting, and IPv4 and IPv6 network address capabilities. "Keyboard and
Mouse" on page 105 lists the Explorer navigation shortcuts. Other components
also support full keyboard navigation in addition to mouse operations.
