Virtual media (not available with LVIPVG-R user station)
Mass storage devices, such as removable drives and external CD-ROM drives, can be attached to
the user station and will function as if they are directly connected to the target computer. You can
connect both a removable drive and an external drive to a LongView IP KVM user station.
The transfer speed between the mass storage device and the target computer is dependant on the
Ethernet network. The system can operate over a 100 Mbps Ethernet connection. A 1 Gbps
connection is required for high-performance virtual media transfer.
NOTE: Hot-plugging of USB mass storage devices is supported.
Audio
The LongView IP KVM extender system supports CD-quality stereo from the target computer to
peripheral speakers, while the LVIP-R user station also supports mono-quality audio from a
peripheral microphone to the target computer.
Bandwidth usage (LVIP-R user station only)
It is possible to restrict the aggregate bandwidth used on the Ethernet link from the serial console.
The bandwidth options are:
• Unlimited
• 100 MBits/s
• 50 MBits/s
• 20 MBits/s
• 10 MBits/s
User station modes
The LongView IP KVM extender system can operate in Private Mode or Share Mode. The user
station and transmitter can obtain their IP address data from a DHCP server in either mode.
Private Mode
In Private Mode, only one user station can be connected to a transmitter.
Share Mode
In Share Mode, multiple users can connnect to the audio and video of a transmitter over the
network and arbitrate for control of the target computer that is connected to that transmitter.
