You have to authenticate on the ASMI module using a valid username and password in order to use Drive
Redirection. You also need permission to change the virtual disc configuration.

Navigation Buttons

Connect/Disconnect

To establish the drive redirection press the "Connect" button once. If all the settings are correct the
status bar shows that the connection has been established. Consequently the "Connect" button is
disabled and the "Disconnect" button is enabled.

On an error, the status line shows the error message. The drive redirection software tries to lock the
local drive before it is redirected. That means that it tries to prevent the local operating system from
accessing the drive as long as it is redirected. This operation may fail, especially if a file on the drive
is currently open. In case of a locking failure, you will be prompted if you want to establish the
connection anyway. This should not be a serious problem when the above warning is respected. If
write support is enabled, a drive which is not locked might be damaged by the Drive Redirection.

With the "Disconnect" button, the connection via Drive Redirection connection is terminated.
