9.Pre-installation guidelines

∙ Switch off all computers

∙Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that are likely to generate electrical noise

∙The maximum distance between each device (computer, KVM switch or second level DX Central) and the DX Central is 100m/330ft. The maximum distance between the DX Central and the DX User IP is also 100m/330ft.

10.Mouse synchronization limitations

The following will help ensure proper mouse synchronization between the host and client computers.

Vendor-specific Mouse drivers

Special vendor-specific Mouse drivers disrupt the synchronization process. Ensure these are not on the host system.

Accelerated mice

DX User IP does not work with accelerated mice. You must disable mouse acceleration on all computers connected to the system. This is explained below for Windows 2000 Pro, 2000 Server, XP and 2003 Server. To disable mouse acceleration for other Operating Systems, see Appendix D on page 67.
