Pressing Enter without entering values keeps the default values. To contact IP Extender from outside the LAN configure a gateway. To remove an already configured gateway, type 0.0.0.0.

The last question – enable IP access control – concerns switching IP packet filtering on or off. This can re-enable access to IP Extender after an incorrect IP access configuration has been activated. Page 47 has more information on IP access control.

8.Confirm the settings, IP Extender resets the configuration.

(B)Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the IP Extender to the computer back- to-back.

Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.0.1 and type 192.168.0.220 into the Address box of the web interface to carry out the IP configuration.

21.Mouse, Keyboard and Video configuration

The correct operation of the client mouse depends on the following two settings.

IP Extender mouse setting

To make the remote keyboard and mouse work properly the IP Extender settings for the host's mouse and keyboard types must be correct. Check the settings in the IP Extender front-end. See page 27.

Host system mouse settings

The host operating system has various settings for the mouse driver. IP Extender works with accelerated mice and is able to synchronize the host with the client mouse pointer. This is further discussed on page 23.

The following may prevent proper mouse synchronization.

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

Windows XP has a setting ' enhanced pointer precision’. Deactivate it.
