Virtual KVM
For some SPs, the appliance supports both Java and ActiveX viewers. By default, the appliance will attempt to provide the
user with the ActiveX vKVM option if supported for that SP type. If ActiveX is not supported by the client browser, the
appliance will only provide a Java-based vKVM session. If you wish to change the default vKVM option and if vKVM is
supported by the SP, from the Modify SP page, select whether Java or ActiveX is the preferred viewer. You can then open a
session by selecting the SP from the Targets tab, by clicking the
Sessions
tab and clicking
Virtual KVM/Media
.
NOTE: Microsoft Internet Explorer is the only browser that supports ActiveX.
