The mapping only works while the Rumba client is active.
Go to “This PC” (number 1 in the picture) and click on “map network drive” (No. 2 in the picture)

Now any time you want to access your H drive you simply need to log into Rumba as above, activate the client, and work on your H drive as usual. (There’s a possibility you’ll need to reenter your username periodically, again it will be in the format username@ekmd)
