Operations administration and maintenance
The DTX user station incorporates a serial menu that allows you to perform administration
and maintenance tasks for both the DTX user station and the transmitter. Examples of
tasks you can perform include configuration of network settings and firmware Flash
upgrades.
Virtual media
Mass storage devices, such as removable drives and external CD-ROM drives, can be
attached to the DTX user station and will function as if they are directly connected to the
remote workstation. Data can be both read from and written to these mass storage devices.
You can connect both a removable drive and an external drive to an DTX user station.
The transfer speed between the mass storage device and the remote workstation is
dependant on the Ethernet network. A 1 Gbps connection is required for high-performance
virtual media transfer. The system is capable, however, of operating over a 100 Mbps
Ethernet connection.
