5.2 Virtual Media
The IKVM-17080 / IKVM-17160 provide a powerful capability called Virtual Media (or
Virtual Disk). Using the USB port, the IKVM-17080 / IKVM-17160 can present either a
local floppy disk image or a redirected remote CD/DVD-ROM image to the target
computer. This can allow system recovery in conditions as bad as having local disks
down and no primary network connection. With Floppy Disk Image, the user can upload
an image to the IP-KVM’s memory, which then emulates a locally attached floppy drive.
With CD/DVD-ROM Image, a Windows or other SAMBA share can emulate a locally
attached CD/DVD-ROM, for instance to update software.
Drive Redirection allows you to share (redirect) your local drive (floppy drives, hard
disks, CD ROMs and other removable devices like USB sticks) with the remote system
over a TCP network connection. Thus, with Drive Redirection, you can use a virtual disk
drive on the remote computer instead of an image file. It is also possible to enable a
remote machine to write data to your local disc.
Before go ahead with this setup, both remote user computer and local computer (the
one connected with the IKVM-17080 / IKVM-17160 unit) would have to have Operating
System Win2000, XP or above. This function would not work on other platforms at this
moment.
Before using Virtual Media, please connect the USB cable from IKVM-17080 /
IKVM-17160 to host computer. After connecting the USB cable, you can see a
“Removable Disk” on the host computer. Below is the host computer screen (the
computer which connected with IKVM-17080 / IKVM-17160).

5.2.1 Drive Redirection
The Drive Redirection is another possibility to use a virtual disc drive on the remote
computer. With Drive Redirection you do not have to use an image file but may work
with a drive from your local computer on the remote machine. The drive is hereby
shared over a TCP network connection. Devices such as floppy drives, hard discs,
