Selecting computers (IP section)

This section covers the various ways that you can select a computer when using the remote IP connection.

To select a computer

1Click the ‘Show Remote Console’ option. If the login menu is displayed, log- in first. Otherwise, the Remote Console window will be displayed:

Click to synchronise	Click to change between	Click to	Indicates
the mouse pointer	single and double mouse	display	keyboard

mouse pointer	Java v1.3 or greater)	menu	status

Click to optimise the video display for the current computer video mode

Click these buttons to select computers. Note: These buttons are displayed only after they have been configured

This is where you select computer ports and view the resulting screen images.

Note: If the security option has been set within the KVM section, you will need to enter an additional Login and Password – see Logging in and out (KVM section) for more details.

2Select the required computer port in one of three main ways:

•Click the required computer button from the selection at the top of the Remote Control window. This is the preferable method because any screen setup parameters that are set for a particular computer will be invoked every time the same computer is re-selected in this manner. This method of selection uses the switching codes that are configured within the KVM settings panel discussed on the previous page.

•Use a KVM hotkey sequence, such as (selects port 6). For cascaded computers with lengthy addresses, one of the other two methods is recommended.

•Display the KVM menu () and select a computer by name from the list.

Whichever method is used, when a channel is selected, the resulting video image will be shown within the Remote Console window.

Using Remote Console to synchronise operation

When the SmartView World first accesses a computer via IP connection it is likely that the screen arrangement and mouse responses, from the remote machine, are not as optimal as they can be. If this is the case then you need to carry out two steps for each computer. These steps need only be carried out once for each port as the SmartView World will store the optimal settings. The mouse has two modes that are selectable from the Options menu within the Remote Console window, under the ‘Mouse Handling’ option: Fast Sync and Intelligent Sync. The former creates a quick synchronisation between the ‘local’ movement of your mouse and the response of the remote mouse pointer of the computer. The Intelligent Sync option takes a little more time than the fast mode, and requires a fully optimised screen, but it gives a better correlation between your movements and the response of the remote computer.

To synchronise screen and mouse operation

1Within the SmartView World home page, select the ‘Show Remote Console’ option in the ‘Server’ section. The Remote Console window will be displayed - see opposite.

2Carry out the following two steps as necessary:

•To adjust the video display: Click the button. The SmartView World will determine the optimum display settings – while this process takes place the Remote Console window will go blank for a few moments.

•To synchronise the mouse: Click the button. The SmartView World will match the response of the mouse pointer on the remote computer to the movement of your mouse.

Note: To optionally change between the two mouse synchronisation modes (‘Fast Sync’ and ‘Intelligent Sync’) click the ‘Options’ button (within the Remote Console window), select the ‘Mouse Handling’ option and select the required mode from the resulting flyout.
