Using the USB port, the Spider device can present either a local floppy disk image or a redirected remote CD-ROM image to the target computer. This can allow system recovery in conditions as bad as having local disks down and no primary network connection. With Floppy Disk Image, the user can upload an image to the Spider device's memory, which then emulates a locally attached floppy drive. With CD-ROM Image, a Windows or other SAMBA share can emulate a locally attached CD-ROM, for instance to update software. Drive Redirection allows you to share (redirect) your local drive (floppy drives, hard disks, CD ROMs and other removable devices like USB sticks) with the remote system over a TCP network connection. Thus, with Drive Redirection, you can use a virtual disk drive on the remote computer instead of an image file. It is also possible to enable a remote machine to write data to your local disc. Note: Drive Redirection supports only Windows as the client computer since it redirects based on a drive letter. To open the Virtual Media page, perform the following steps. 1.

Virtual Media
The Spider device provides a powerful capability called Virtual Media (or Virtual Disk). Using the
USB port, the Spider device can present either a local floppy disk image or a redirected remote
CD-ROM image to the target computer. This can allow system recovery in conditions as bad as
having local disks down and no primary network connection.
With Floppy Disk Image, the user can upload an image to the Spider device’s memory, which then
emulates a locally attached floppy drive. With CD-ROM Image, a Windows or other SAMBA share
can emulate a locally attached CD-ROM, for instance to update software.
Drive Redirection allows you to share (redirect) your local drive (floppy drives, hard disks, CD
ROMs and other removable devices like USB sticks) with the remote system over a TCP network
connection.
Thus, with Drive Redirection, you can use a virtual disk drive on the remote computer instead of an
image file. It is also possible to enable a remote machine to write data to your local disc.
Note:
Drive Redirection supports only Windows as the client computer since it redirects
