Video Viewer
Control the keyboard, monitor, and mouse functions of individual target devices with the Video
Viewer. You can use predefined macros and choose which macro group is displayed on the Video
Viewer Macros menu.
The Video Viewer also provides access to the Virtual Media window. You can use the Virtual
Media window to map drives from a target device to physical drives, such as a disk, flash, CD or
DVD drive on the client computer.
See Chapter 7, “Virtual Media Guide”, beginning on page 92,
for more information.
Network Access Software
From the Network Access Software, you can view the KVM switches and target devices defined in
the local database. Built-in groupings such as KVM switches and devices provide a way to list
units. You can create custom groups of units by adding and naming folders. Other groupings are
also available, based on custom fields that you assign to units. From the Network Access Software,
select a target device from a Unit list, then click an icon to open a video viewer session to it.
