156 DSView 3 Software Installer/User Guide
At least one encryption level must be specified for the keyboard and mouse. When you specify
more than one SSL encryption type, the switch negotiates the strongest algorithm that is
supported by both sides. The strongest algorithm is AES, followed by 128 bit, 3DES and DES.

To change the virtual media session settings on a KVM switch:
This procedure is valid for KVM switches that support virtual media.
1. In a Units View window containing appliances (see Accessing Units View windows on
page 98), click on the KVM switch name.
2. Click Appliance Settings in the side navigation bar and then click Sessions. The Appliance
Sessions window will open.
3. Click Settings in the side navigation bar and then click Virtual Media. The Appliance Virtual
Media Session Settings window will open.
4. In the Session Lock area, enable the Virtual Media locked to KVM session checkbox if you
wish to close the virtual media session when the associated KVM session is closed. When this
feature is disabled an active virtual media session will remain active when the associated KVM
session is closed.
5. In the Drive Mappings area, choose an access mode from the Virtual Media Access Mode
menu: read-only or read-write.
When the access mode is read-only, the user will not be able to write data to the mapped drive
on the client machine. When the access mode is read-write, the user will be able to read and
write data to the mapped drive.
If the drive is a read-only drive (for example, CD/DVD drives or ISO images), the access mode
setting will be ignored. If the drive on the client machine is read-write (for example, a mass
storage device or USB removal media), setting read-only access mode will prevent the user
from writing data to the client machine.
6. In the Encryption Level area, enable one or more encryption levels for the virtual media
session: DES, 3DES, 128-Bit SSL or AES. Any combination of selections (or no selection)
is valid.
7. Click Save and then click Close. The Units View window will open.
Defining exit macros
Since clients are running remotely on PCs, certain commands must be sent to the controlled target
device using keyboard macros. For example, pressing
Ctrl+Alt+Delete on your keyboard resets the
PC running the client rather than resetting the target device. To reset the target device, a macro is
needed. The DSView 3 management software provides numerous sequences pre-configured for
ease of operation.
Three kinds of macros are available: personal, global and exit. Personal macros and global macros
are created using the Video Viewer window. See Macros on page 247.
