Controls

When clicked, this button reveals a menu of options concerned with keyboard, video and mouse operation.

Resync mouse

This option has the same effect as the button on the menu bar and resynchronises the local and remote mouse pointers.

Refresh screen

This option refreshes the whole screen image to remove any artifacts from moved screen items. This is useful when using very low refresh rates on slow speed communication links.

Mouse control

This option displays a mouse control dialog and is useful when the remote cursor is failing to respond correctly to your mouse movements, even after using the Resync mouse option.

The mouse control dialog allows you to control the remote mouse cursor using a selection of buttons that you click with your local mouse.

Keyboard control

This option displays a keyboard control dialog and is useful for sending keyboard combinations (to the host) that are needed regularly or that are trapped by the

CPU IP.
