• Locked - A virtual media session that is associated with a specified KVM
session. If the KVM session is closed, the virtual media session will end.
(For example, if the KVM session is preempted, closed by a user, or stopped
when the screen saver starts, the appliance will close the associated virtual
media session). However, closing a locked virtual media session will not
close the corresponding KVM session.
• Mapped drive access - You can set the access mode for mapped drives to
read-only. When the access mode is read-only, you cannot write data to the
mapped drive on the client computer. When the access mode is not set as
read-only, you can read and write data from or to the mapped drive. If the
mapped drive is read-only by design (for example, certain CD drives, DVD
drives, or ISO images), the configured read-write access mode is ignored.
Setting the read-only mode can be helpful when a read-write drive such as a
mass storage device or a USB removable media is mapped, and you want to
prevent the user from writing data to it.
• Encryption level - You can configure up to three encryption levels for
virtual media sessions. Any combination is valid. The choices are: AES,
DES, 3DES, and 128-bit RC4 (ARCFOUR) SSL encryptions. The highest
level selected is used. The default is no encryption (no encryption levels
selected).
Reserving a Virtual Media Session
A virtual media session can also be reserved to allow only a specified user name
or administrator to access or close a session. If you want to continue a virtual
media session after the KVM session is closed, you can reserve the virtual media
session. If the virtual media session is reserved, it will remain active when the
associated KVM session is closed.
To reserve a virtual media session:
On the Virtual Media window, click Details and select the Reserve check box.
Resetting the USB Bus

the mouse and keyboard. It should only be used when the target device is not
