CHAPTER 6. MENU OPTIONS 49
This feature may be enabled here. Write support means that the remote computer is allowed
to write on your local drive. As you can imagine, this is very dangerous. If both the remote
and the local system try to write data on the same device, this will certainly destroy the file
system on the drive. Please use this only when you exactly know what you are doing.
Device Authentication
Figure 6 - 15. Device Authentication
To use the Drive Redirection, you have to authenticate on the LARA eco using a valid
username and password. A permission to change the virtual disc configuration is necessary .
Navigation Buttons
Connect/Disconnect
To establish the drive redirection press the Connect button once. If all the settings are
correct, the status bar displays that the connection has been established, the Connect
button is disabled and the Disconnect button is enabled.
On an error, the status line shows the error message. The drive redirection software
tries to lock the local drive before it is redirected. That means that it tries to prevent the
local operating system from accessing the drive as long as it is redirected. This may
also fail, especially if a file on the drive is currently open. In the case of a locking
failure, you will be prompted if you want to establish the connection anyhow. This
should not be a serious problem when the note above is respected. If the write support
is enabled, a drive which is not locked might be damaged by the Drive Redirection.
With the Disconnect button, a connection via Drive Redirection connection is stopped.
