• Secure Connection – Enable this box to establish a secure connection via SSL. This will
maximize the security but may reduce the connection speed.
• Enable Write Support – Enable write support means that the remote computer is allowed to
write on your local drive. As you can imagine, this is very dangerous. If both the remote and
the local system try to write data on the same device, this will certainly destroy the file
system on the drive. Please use this only when you exactly know what you are doing.
Warning!
Please be cautious that if “Enable Write Support” is selected, all data on the
shred media might be destroyed.
• Virtual Drive and Device Authentication – Enter the administrator’s username and
password for the IP console. The factory default Username is “super” and the default
Password is “pass.”
Warning!
1. Drive Redirection is only possible with Windows 2000 and above
versions.
2. The Drive Redirection works on a low SCSI level and the SCSI protocol
cannot recognize partitions; therefore the whole drive selected will be
shared instead of any particular partition.
3. While connecting to a legacy KVM switch, please select PS/2 mouse for
Keyboard/Mouse setting from webpage. Otherwise you will not be able
to use the Hot-key.
• Connect/Disconnect – To establish the drive redirection please press the “Connect” button
once. If all the settings are correct, the status bar displays that the connection has been
established, 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. This means that it tries to prevent the local
operating system from accessing the drive as long as it is redirected. This may also fail,
especially if a file on the drive is currently open. In the case of a locking failure, you will be
prompted if you want to establish the connection anyhow. This should not be a serious
problem when the note above is respected. If the write support is enabled, a drive which is
not locked might be damaged by the Drive Redirection.
With the “Disconnect” button, a connection via Drive Redirection connection is stopped.
• Exit/Hide – If the “Exit” button is pressed, the Drive Redirection software is closed. If a Drive
Redirection connection is active, the connection will be closed before the application
terminates.
