Server Name for Viewers
Enter the server name you chose for the video server on the switch, and it will appear on the title bar of your switch’s viewer window.
Keyboard Layout
Choose the keyboard layout for the switch according to the real keyboard you’re using on the remote login client. Choosing the correct keyboard layout for your keyboard is very important since some key codes are represented by different keys, depending on the keyboard layout. Also, a correct keyboard layout setting ensures that you’ll have a key code output on the server side that matches what you’ve input on the physical keyboard from the client computer side. The default keyboard layout is the U.S. keyboard, though the switch supports more than 60 types of keyboards used all over the world.
Largest Possible Screen
The switch supports a maximum resolution of up to 1600 x 1200 pixels. Normally, the greatest resolution support (1600 x 1200) will be the setting that is most accommodating to all display resolution requirements. However, you can still select a smaller workable resolution for your display device. If you choose a smaller resolution, be aware that any screen larger than what you specify here will not be shown on the viewer. The switch supports the following resolutions:
•640 x 400 • 640 x 480 • 800 x 600 • 1024 x 768 • 1152 x 864 • 1280 x 1024 • 1600 x 1200 (For details about the refresh rate support, go to the Video Mode Database section.)
Hot Keys
The Digital KVM over IP Switch can detect a special sequence of keystrokes when you type on your remote keyboard. This special sequence is used to ask the switch to resynchronize the local and remote mouse cursors in a fast and convenient way. For example, it is faster to type
The viewer hot keys are transmitted to the switch or server attached to the switch, whereas the mouse resynchronization key is filtered out by the switch. Thus, because the viewer hot keys are transmitted, they must be as harmless as possible. Viewer hot keys such as NumLock- NumLock,
Hot keys can be configured to fit your needs, as well, based on the key positions on a standard keyboard, as shown below. Note 1: The viewer hot keys are transmitted to the switch that’s attached, thus they must be chosen so that they don’t interfere with the switch’s hot keys.
Note 2: If you’re running the Java viewer on Mac OS, you may find that the default mouse resynchronization sequence —
