Instruction Manual

The main menu window may be moved by clicking and dragging on the title bar. It can be closed by pressing Escape, or by clicking on the red X in the top right corner.

Here is a guide outlining various fields from the Main Menu. Most of the functions operate immediately. Other functions require a response to a confirmation prompt first before performing the requested function.

Identification: Fixed text label that is defined by the user in the Web interface. This does not affect the operation of the system and is intended to assist with administration.

Status: Current status of the attached system and the status of the unit.

B/W Min/Avg/Max/Auto: Bandwidth control. current operation will be indicated with white highlighting. If you choose Min/Avg/Max then you will override the default, Auto. As the automatic mode measures actual network performance, you may see the current mode switch from Min up to Avg or Max. The different modes indicate more time spent on compression versus more bandwidth. There is no visual difference between the modes, but there can be a noticeable difference in speed and smoothness.

Mouse Resync: Resynchronizes the mouse pointer so that the local and remote mouse pointers are on top of each other.

PS/2 Reset: Resets the PS/2 emulation going to the host and to the attached PS/2 devices. This can be used if the mouse stops responding or the PS/2 keyboard isn't working.

USB Replug: Simulates unplugging the USB connector and then plugging it back in. If the host is not recognizing USB input devices, this button may be used to restore functionality.

Take Control: When multiple users are connected to the same system, use this button to take control away from another user. Only one user may control the keyboard and mouse at any time. All users see the same picture. Please note: It is important that multiple users not be connected to the same physical network.

Thumbnails: Switch to smaller thumbnail size screen images (click anywhere on thumbnail to restore it). Each button corresponds to a different sized image, from half size to one-sixteenth.

Logout: End the VNC login session and disconnect.

Video Tuning: Sub-menu with video adjustments, to be used when automatic picture adjustment does not provide a good quality picture.

VirtKeys: Virtual keyboard provides a menu with special keys that are often hard to generate but needed by the remote system. The most common key sequence is the [Ctrl] – [Alt] – [Del].
