The Video Viewer Window
The Video Viewer is used to conduct a KVM session with the target devices
attached to an switch using the OBWI. 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.
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 server 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.
If the device you are attempting to access is currently being viewed by another
user, you will be prompted to preempt the other user if your preemption level is
equal to or greater than the other user's preemption level. An RCS Administrator
can also disconnect an active user via the Active Session page. For more
information, see "Active Sessions" on page 80.
