Virtual Media and USB2 Constraints
The virtual media feature of the Remote Console Switch enables you to
connect to the USB port of an attached device. With this feature, a user
located at the switch or using the RCS software can access a local USB storage
device, such as a USB CD/DVD-ROM drive, diskette drive, or flash drive,
from an attached computer.
The USB2 SIP is a composite device that addresses four functions: keyboard,
mouse, DVD drive, and mass storage device. The CD/DVD drive and mass
storage device will be present on the target device whether or not a virtual
media session is mapped. If a media device is not mapped, it is shown without
media present. When a virtual media device is mapped to the target device,
the target device will be notified that media has been inserted. When the
media device is unmapped, the target device will be notified that the media
was removed. Therefore, the USB2 virtual device is not disconnected from
the target device.
The USB2 SIP presents the keyboard and mouse as a composite USB2 device.
Therefore, the BIOS must support a composite USB 2.0 human interface
device (HID). If the BIOS of the connected computer does not support this
type of device, the keyboard and mouse might not work until the operating
system loads USB 2.0 device drivers. If this occurs, there might be a BIOS
update provided by the computer manufacturer that will provide BIOS
support for a USB 2.0 connected keyboard and mouse.
