Exclusive Access

If a user has the appropriate permission, he can force the Remote Consoles of all other users to close. No one can open the Remote Console at the same time again until this user disables the exclusive access, or logs off.

A change in the access mode is also visible in the status line (see Figure 5-7).

Figure 5-7. Remote Console Exclusive Mode

Scaling

Allow you to scale down the Remote Console. You can still use both mouse and keyboard, however the scaling algorithm will not preserve all display details.

Figure 5-8. Remote Console Options Menu:Scaling

Mouse Handling

The submenu for mouse handling offers two options for synchronizing the local and the remote mouse pointer.

Fast Sync --

The fast synchronization is used to correct a temporary, but fixed skew.

Intelligent Sync --

Use this option if the fast sync does not work or the mouse settings have been changed on the host system.

Warning

This method takes more time than the fast one and requires a correctly adjusted picture. Use the auto adjustment function or the manual correction in the Video Settings panel to setup the picture.
