host system. If your mouse or keyboard no longer responds properly, you can
align the mouse to reestablish proper tracking.

Alignment causes the local cursor to align with the remote target device’s cursor.
Resetting causes a simulation of a mouse and keyboard reconnect as if you had
disconnected and reconnected them.

To realign the mouse, click the Align Local Cursor button in the Video Viewer
window toolbar.

Virtual Media

The virtual media feature allows the user on the client device to map a physical
drive on that machine as a virtual drive on a target device. The client device
may also add and map an ISO or floppy image file as a virtual drive on the target
device. You may have one CD drive and one mass storage device mapped
concurrently.

A CD/DVD drive, disk image file (such as an ISO or floppy image file) is
mapped as a virtual CD/DVD-ROM drive.

A floppy drive, USB memory device or other media type is mapped as a
virtual mass storage device.

For information on configuring virtual media settings using the OBWI, see
"Virtual Media Session Settings" on page 76.

Requirements

The device must support virtual media and be connected to the KVM switch
with a USB2 or USB2+CAC SIP.

The target device must be intrinsically able to use the types of USB2-compatible
media that you virtually map. In other words, if the target device does not
support a portable USB memory device, you cannot map that on the client
device as a virtual media drive on the target device.
