Lindy CPU IP Access Switch Plus Appendix 4 Browser viewer options, Encoding and colour level

Page 44

Appendix 4 - Browser viewer options

When you are connecting to the CPU IP using a Web browser, a number of options are available.

Click here to access the options

There is a single page of options:

Encoding and colour level

Auto select

When ticked, this option will examine the speed of your connection to the CPU IP and apply the most suitable encoding method. This option is suggested for the majority of installations.

Preferred encoding

There are three manually selectable encoding methods which are accessible when the Auto select option is unticked.

ZRLE – This is a highly compressed method that is best suited to slow modem connections.

Hextile – This method offers better performance than the ZRLE when used over a high speed network because there is no need for the CPU

IP to spend time highly compressing the data.

Raw – This is a primitive, uncompressed method that is mainly used for technical support issues. You are recommended not to use this method.

Colour level

The colour level is fixed at Medium (256 colours) for almost all browsers.

Inputs

View only (ignore mouse & keyboard)

When ticked, the viewer will not send keyboard or mouse information to the CPU IP or host system.

Accept clipboard from server

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

Security

512 bits (low security)

Selects the lowest level of encoding for communications between the browser and the CPU IP.

1024 bits (medium security)

Selects the middle level of encoding for communications between the browser and the CPU IP.

2048 bits (high security)

Selects the highest level of encoding for communications between the browser and the CPU IP.

Misc
