Question
Answer
Why would I use a USB profile?
USB profiles are most often required at the
BIOS level where there may not be full support
for the USB specification when accessing virtual
media drives. However, profiles are sometimes
used at the OS level, for example, for mouse
synchronization for Macintosh and Linux
servers.
How is a USB profile used?
Individual ports or groups of ports can be
configured by the administrator to use a specific
USB profile in the KX II’s port configuration
page. A USB profile can also be selected in the
KX II Client when required. See the user guide
for more information.
Do I always need to set a USB
profile when I use virtual media?
No. In many cases, the default USB profile is
sufficient when using virtual media at the OS
level or operating at the BIOS level without
accessing virtual media.
What profiles are available? Where
can I find more information?
Consult the user guide for the available profiles
and for more information.
