USER GUIDE

In case IP Extender is connected to your local network environment and your connection to the Internet is available using a proxy server only without NAT being configured, the Remote Console is very unlikely to be able to establish the according connection. This is because today's Web proxies are not capable of relaying the RFB protocol. In case of problems, please consult your network administrator in order to provide an appropriate network environment.

The Remote Console window shows the remote screen at its optimal size. However, you can always resize the Remote Console window in your host window system.

Hint: The Remote Console window on your local window system is just one window among others. To make the keyboard and mouse work, your Remote Console window must have the local input focus.

29.The Control buttons /toolbar icons

The control buttons/toolbar icons have the following functions:

- Sends the `Control Alt Delete' key combination to the remote system.

Auto adjust - Adjusts the screen to the best visual quality

Sync mouse - Synchronizes the host and remote mice. Necessary when using accelerated mouse settings on the host system. There is generally no need to change mouse settings on the host.

- Discussed on page 24.

Click the Options button to get the following options:

Monitor Only - When turned on, the Remote Console does not accept keyboard /

mouse input. The top right hand icon appears like this .

Exclusive access - If a user has the appropriate permission, he can force the Remote Consoles of all other users to close. No one can open the Remote Console until this user disables the Exclusive access or logs off.

Scaling - Scale down the Remote Console. Not all display details will be preserved.

Readability Filter - Turn the filter on in scaling mode to preserve most of the screen details. Only available with a Java Virtual Machine version number of 1.3 or higher
