Single port KVM over IP switch

4.1.3.2 Remote Mouse Settings

A common problem with KVM devices is the synchronization between the local and remote mouse cursors. The IP-KVM switch addresses this situation with an intelligent synchronization algorithm. There are two mouse modes available on the IP-KVM switch .

Auto mouse speed

The automatic mouse speed mode tries to detect the speed and acceleration settings of the host system automatically. See the section below for a more detailed explanation.

Fixed mouse speed

This mode just translates the mouse movements from the Remote Console in a way that one pixel move will lead to n pixel moves on the remote system. This parameter n is adjustable with the scaling. It should be noted that this works only when mouse acceleration is turned off on the remote system.

4.1.3.3 Auto mouse speed and mouse synchronization

The automatic mouse speed mode performs the speed detection during mouse synchronization. Whenever the mouse does not move correctly, there are two ways for re-synchronizing local and remote mouse:

Fast Sync

The fast synchronization is used to correct a temporary, but fixed skew. Choose the option using the Remote Console options menu or press the mouse synchronization hotkey sequence in case you defined one .

Intelligent Sync

If the fast sync does not work or the mouse settings have been changed on the host system, use the intelligent resynchronization. This method takes more time than the fast one and can be accessed with the appropriate item in the Remote Console option menu. The intelligent synchronization requires a correctly adjusted picture. Use the auto adjustment function or the manual correction in the Video Settings panel to setup the picture. The Sync mouse button on top of the Remote Console can behave differently, depending on the current state of mouse synchronization. Usually pressing this button leads to a fast sync, except in situations where the KVM port or the video mode changed recently.

4.1.3.4 Host system mouse settings

The host's operating system knows various settings for the mouse driver.

Warning

The following limitations do not apply in case of USB and Mouse Type “ MS Windows 2000 and newer ” .

While the IP-KVM switch works with accelerated mice and is able to synchronize the local with the remote mouse pointer, there are the following limitations, which may prevent this synchronization from working properly:
