SMART CAT5 SWITCH 16 IP.

Host system mouse settings

The host operating system has various settings for the mouse driver. Smart 16 IP works with accelerated mice and is able to synchronize the host with the client mouse pointer. This is further discussed on page 14.

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.

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.

6. Smart 16 IP Video Modes

Smart 16 IP 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, Smart 16 IP may not be able to detect these. Use any standard VESA video mode. Refer to Appendix A on page 79 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.

7. Operating the Smart 16 IP system

Operate the Smart 16 IP system through one of the following interfaces:

1.HTTP/HTTPS - Any standard Web browser. Depending on the Web browser, you can access the Smart 16 IP 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 Smart 16 IP's serial ports via a terminal mode.
