on the Host interface setting, not all of the following options are always visible.

Warning:

To get USB remote keyboard access during the boot process of the host, the following conditions must be fulfilled:

the host’s bios must have USB keyboard support

the USB cable must be connected

“USB” or “Auto” must be selected in the Host interface option

. USB Mouse Type

Selecting “MS Windows 2000 or newer” enables the “absolute” mouse mode. In this mode the remote mouse is always synchron with the local mouse. It is encouraged to select this, if you have an appropriate operating system on the host. Otherwise select “Other Operating System”.

. Mouse Mode —Auto mouse speed

Use this option if the mouse settings on host use an additional acceleration setting. LARA eco tries to detect the acceleration and speed of the mouse during the mouse sync process.

. Mouse Mode —Fixed mouse speed

Use a direct translation of mouse movements between the local and the remote pointer. You may also set a fixed Scaling which determines the amount the remote mouse pointer moved when the local mouse pointer is moved by one pixel. This option only works when the mouse settings on host are linear, means that there is no mouse acceleration involved.

5.4.3 Video Settings

Figure5.11: Video Settings in HTML front-end

Enable local video port

This option decides if the local video output of PS/2 KVM over IP switch is active and passing through the incoming signal from the host system.

Noise filter

This option defines how PS/2 KVM over IP switch reacts to small changes in the video input signal. A large filter setting needs less network traffic and leads to a faster video display, but small changes in some display regions may not be recognized immediately. A small filter displays all changes instantly but may lead to a constant amount of network traffic even if display content is not really changing (depending on the quality of the video input signal). All in all the default setting should be suitable for most situations.
