Remote Devices: Remote KVM 2/2
In case of key map problem, a virtual keyboard can be used (EN/FR)
NEC Confidential47
Remote Devices: Remote Media
Following device/image can be used for remote media:
• Floppy drive• CD/DVD drive• USB Key (read/write)• ISO image of Floppy/CD/DVD
Device is detected as USB device on server =>
Refer to User Guide for limitation on Remote Media
On 100MB LAN, Remote Media Transfert is = to 1.6x CDROM speed
