Remote Console Settings

The Remote Console settings allow you to customize the Remote Console window prior to its start. Some of the parameters you might still change while the Remote Console is running while others have to be set in the Remote Console settings.

All the settings for the Remote Console window are user specific. That means, each user can individually customise the Remote Console for his needs. Changing the settings for one user does not affect the settings for others.

User select box

This control will show the user ID for which the values are shown and for which changes will take effect. You might change the settings of other users in case you have the necessary access rights.

Transmission Encoding

The Transmission Encoding setting allows changing the image- encoding algorithm that is used to transmit the video data to the Remote Console window. Using those settings it is possible to optimise the speed of the remote screen depending on the number of parallel users and the bandwidth of the connection line (Modem, ISDN, DSL, LAN, etc.).

Automatic detection

The encoding and the compression level is determined automatically from the available bandwidth and the current content of the video image.

Normal

The Standard Encoding algorithm well suited for many parallel users and/or in a LAN environment.

Compressed

The data stream between the SmartView World and the Remote Console window will be additionally compressed to save bandwidth. Choosing one of the rates between LAN (lowest) and GSM modem (highest) adjusts the compression rate. Typical applications generate traffic between 5 Kbytes/s (compression rate GSM modem) and 10 Kbytes/s (compression rate LAN). The compression encoding is well suited for a Modem or ISDN environment. However, since the compression takes processing time on the SmartView World itself, this encoding shouldn’t be used when many parallel users want to access the SmartView World at the same time.

Various Remote Console Options

Start in Monitor Mode

Sets the initial value for the monitor mode. By default the monitor mode is off. In case you switch it on, the Remote Console window will be started in a read only mode.

Start in Exclusive Access Mode

Enables the exclusive access mode immediately at Remote Console startup. This forces 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.
