Mouse Alignment and Synchronization

Because the DSR web server cannot get constant feedback from the mouse, there are times when the mouse on the DSR switch may lose sync with the mouse on the host system. If your mouse or keyboard no longer responds properly, you can align the mouse to re-establish proper tracking.

Alignment causes the local cursor to aligned with the cursor on the remote server. Resetting causes the appliance to simulate a mouse and keyboard reconnect at the device as if you had disconnected and then reconnected them.

To realign the mouse:

Click the Align Local Cursor button in the Video Viewer window toolbar.

Using Keyboard Pass-through

Keystrokes that a user enters when using a Video Viewer window may be interpreted in two ways, depending on the screen mode of the Video Viewer window.

•If a Video Viewer window is in Full Screen mode, all keystrokes and keyboard combinations except Ctrl-Alt-Delare sent to the remote server being viewed.

•If a Video Viewer window is in Regular Desktop mode, Keyboard Pass-through mode can be used to control whether the remote server or local computer recognizes certain keystrokes or keystroke combinations.

Keyboard pass-through must be specified using the Session Options dialog box. When enabled, keyboard pass-through sends all keystrokes and keystroke combinations except Ctrl-Alt-Delto the remote server being viewed when the Video Viewer window is active. When the local desktop is active, keystrokes and keystroke combinations entered by the user affect the local computer.

NOTE: The Ctrl-Alt-Deletekeyboard combination can be sent only to a remote server by using a macro.
