USER GUIDE

Check the correct setting by moving the mouse of your administration system to the upper left corner of the Remote Console and moving it there slightly forth and back. This will force mouse synchronization in that corner of the screen. Once that is done you may observe the behavior of your client mouse in accordance to the host one. If both mice desynchronize quickly one of the above may be the reason.

22.IP Extender Video Modes

IP Extender recognizes a limited number of common video modes. When running X-Window on the host system, don't use any custom modelines with special video modes. If you do, IP Extender may not be able to detect these. Use any standard VESA video mode. Refer to Appendix A on page 60 for a list of all known modes.

You can adjust up to 4 Custom Video Modes if your video mode differs from the standard VESA video mode.

Set the Custom Video Modes in the Video settings section.

23.Operating the IP Extender system

Operate the IP Extender system through one of the following interfaces:

1.HTTP/HTTPS - Any standard Web browser. Depending on the Web browser, you can access the IP Extender card using the unsecured HTTP protocol or, in case the browser supports it, the encrypted HTTPS protocol. We recommend using HTTPS when possible.

2.SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) - Any standard SNMP client can use this protocol.

3.Telnet - Use a standard Telnet client to access an arbitrary device connected to one of the IP Extender's serial ports via a terminal mode.

All the above interfaces are accessed using the TCP/IP protocol. They can thus be used via the built-in Ethernet adapter or modem.

This chapter deals with the HTTP interface. The other two interfaces are explained on pages 42 and 57.

The Web browser must come with a Java Runtime Environment version 1.1 or higher. Without Java support, you can still maintain the remote host system using the administration forms displayed by the browser.
