Inputs

Enable all inputs

When selected, allows keyboard, mouse and clipboard data to be transferred between server and viewer systems.

Disable all inputs (view-only mode)

When selected, prevents control data being passed between server and viewer. Viewer can display the server output, but cannot control it.

Customise

Allows you to select which data can be transferred between server and viewer.

Send pointer events to server When un-ticked, the VNC viewer

will not send mouse movement or click data to the Wizard IP Plus or host system.

Send keyboard events to server

When un-ticked, the VNC viewer will not send keyboard information to the Wizard IP Plus or host system.

Send clipboard changes to server

This feature is restricted to software server versions of VNC and has no effect on Wizard IP Plus installations.

Accept clipboard changes from server

This feature is restricted to software server versions of VNC and has no effect on Wizard IP Plus installations, except for retrieving the activity log as described in the logging and status section.

Rate-limit mouse move events

When ticked, this feature reduces the mouse movement information that is sent to the Wizard IP Plus and host system. This is useful for slow connections and you will notice that the remote cursor will catch up with the local cursor roughly once every second.

Enable 3-button mouse emulation

This feature allows you to use a 2-button mouse to emulate the middle button of a 3-button mouse. When enabled, press the left and right mouse buttons simultaneously to create a middle button action. You are advised to generally use a 3-button mouse.

Pass special keys directly to server

When ticked, ‘special’ keys (the Windows key, the Print Screen key, Alt+Tab, Alt+Escape and Ctrl+Escape) are passed directly to the Wizard IP Plus rather than being interpreted locally.

Menu key

This feature allows you to select which function key is used to display the VNC viewer options menu. The menu key is only way to exit from the full screen viewer mode.

IMPORTANT: If you make any changes to the options given here and wish to retain them for successive connection sessions, you must save the changes. To do this, change to the ‘Defaults’ tab and click the ‘Save as defaults’ button.
