3-4 Remote Console Control Bar

The Remote Console

The upper part of the Remote Console window contains a control bar. By using its elements, you can see the status of the Remote Console and influence the local Remote Console settings. A description of each control follows.

• Auto-Adjust Button

If the video displayed is of bad quality or distorted in some way, press this button and wait a few seconds while the RIPM adjusts itself for the best possible video quality.

• Sync Mouse

Choose this option in order to synchronize the local- with the remote-mouse cursor. This is especially important when using accelerated mouse settings on the host system. In general, there is no need to change mouse settings.

• Single-/Double-Mouse Modes

Choose this mode to switch between the single-mouse mode (where only the remote-mouse pointer is visible) and the double-mouse mode (where remote-and local-mouse pointers are visible and must be synchronized). Single-mouse mode is available only if using Sun JVM 1.4 or higher.

• Options

To open the Options menu, click on the “Options” button.

A short description of the options follows:

•Monitor Only

Toggles the “Monitor Only” filter on or off. If the filter is switched on, no Remote Console interaction is possible, but monitoring is possible.

•Exclusive Access

With appropriate permission, you can force the Remote Consoles of all other users to close. No one can open the Remote Console at the same time again until you disable the exclusive access or log off.
