The Video Viewer Window

The Video Viewer is used to conduct a KVM session with the target device attached to a
SwitchView IP 1020 remote access device. When you connect to a device using the Video Viewer,
the target device desktop appears in a separate window containing both the local and the target
device cursor. The Video Viewer window supports either a 3- or 5-button mouse.
The SwitchView IP 1020 remote access device on-board web interface software uses a Java-based
program to display the Video Viewer window. The SwitchView IP 1020 remote access device
OBWI automatically downloads and installs the Video Viewer the first time it is opened.
NOTE: The SwitchView IP 1020 remote access device on-board web interface does not install the Java
Resource Engine (JRE). The JRE is available as a free download from http://www.sun.com for PC users and
from http://www.apple.com for Mac users. When in IPv4 mode, Java 1.5 or later is required. When in IPv6 mode,
Java 1.6 or later is required. Currently, MAC operating systems only support Java 1.5, so users with MAC
operating systems cannot yet operate in IPv6 mode.
NOTE: The SwitchView IP 1020 remote access device on-board web interface uses system memory to store and
display images within Video Viewer windows. Each opened Video Viewer window requires additional system
memory:
• An 8-bit color setting on the client PC requires 1.4 MB of memory per Video Viewer window.
• A 16-bit color setting requires 2.4 MB and a 32-bit color setting requires 6.8 MB.
If the device you are attempting to access is currently being viewed by another user, you will be
prompted to preempt the other users if your preemption level is equal to or greater than theirs. An
appliance administrator can also disconnect an active user via the Active Session page.
