The

presence

and

features

are

integrated

functions

of

Module

(IMM).

When

Premium

(the

virtual

media

key)

is

installed

in

the

server,

functions.

is

required

authenticates

the

to

determine

if

it

is

valid.

will

receive

a

message

from

the

Web

interface

indicating

that

the

hardware

key

is

required

to

use

the

remote

presence

feature.

The

virtual

media

key

provides

an

LED

to

indicate

a

problem.

When

this

LED

is

lit

and

green,

it

indicates

that

the

key

is

installed

and

functioning

correctly.
