Video Viewer
The Video Viewer is used to conduct a KVM session with the target devices
attached to a switch using the OBWI. With the Dell RAK installed, the OBWI
will display the “KVM Session” links on the “Target Devices” page, which is also
referred to as the home page. In addition to the list of devices, additional
options/pages associated with remote KVM access will become available. When
you connect to a device using the Video Viewer, the target device desktop
appears in a separate window containing both the local and the target device
cursors.
NOTE: To use the remote access feature, the Dell RAK must be installed and you will
need to configure the network settings using OSCAR or the Setup port. The
1081AD/2161AD switch can be managed at a reduced level without the Dell RAK once
the network settings have been configured.
The switch OBWI software uses a Java-based program to display the Video
Viewer window. The switch OBWI automatically downloads and installs the
Video Viewer the first time it is opened.
NOTE: Java 1.6.0_11 or later is required to launch a session.
NOTE: The switch OBWI does not install the Java Resource Engine (JRE). The JRE is
available as a free download from http://www.sun.com.
NOTE: The switch OBWI uses system memory to store and display images within Video
Viewer windows. Each opened Video Viewer window requires additional system
memory. An 8-bit color setting on the client device requires 1.4 MB of memory per
Video Viewer window, a 16-bit color setting requires 2.4 MB and a 32-bit color setting
requires 6.8 MB. If you attempt to open more Video Viewer windows than your system
memory allows (usually four), you will receive an out-of-memory error and the
requested Video Viewer window will not open.
