Remote Console Type

Specifies which Remote Console Viewer to use:

Default Java-VM

Uses the default Java Virtual Machine of your Browser. This may be the Microsoft JVM for the Internet Explorer or the Sun JVM if it is configured this way. Use of the Sun JVM may also be forced (see below).

Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plugin

Instructs the Web browser of your administration system to use the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) of Sun Microsystems. The JVM in the browser is used to run the code for the Remote Console window, which is actually a Java Applet.

If you check this box for the first time on your administration system and the appropriate Java plug-in is not already installed on your system, it will be downloaded and installed automatically. However, in order to make the installation possible, you still need to answer the according dialogs with YES. The download volume is around 11 Mbytes.

The advantage of downloading Sun’s JVM lays in providing a stable and identical Java Virtual Machine across different platforms. The Remote Console software is optimised for this JVM version and offers wider range of functionality when run in SUN’s JVM. (Hint: If you are connected over a slow connection to the Internet you can also pre-install the JVM on your administration machine. The software is available on the CD that is delivered along with the SmartView World.)

ActiveX control

This option instructs the Web browser to use the ActiveX-Control of the KVM Vision Viewer, an application available separately. You have to install this program on your local system, please refer to the manual of the KVM vision viewer for further information. This option only works with Microsoft Internet Explorer on Win32 Systems.

Mouse hotkey

Hotkey

Allows you to specify a hotkey combination that starts either the mouse synchronisation process if pressed in the Remote Console or is used to leave the exclusive mouse mode.

Remote Console Button Keys

Button Keys are meant for simulating keystrokes on the remote system that cannot be generated locally. The reason for this might be a missing key or the fact, that the local operating system of the Remote Console is unconditionally catching this keystroke already. Typical examples are ‘Control Alt Delete’ on Windows and DOS, which are always caught or ‘Control Backspace’ on Linux for terminating the X-Server. The syntax to define a new Button Key is as follows:

[confirm] < keycode > [+ - [*] < keycode >]*

confirm requests confirmation by a dialog box before the key strokes will be sent.

keycode is the key to be sent. Multiple key codes can be concatenated with a

+or a - sign. The + sign builds key combinations, all keys will be pressed until a - sign or the end of the combination is encountered. In this case all pressed keys will be released in reversed sequence. So the - sign builds single, separate

keypresses and -releases. The > sign signifies press and then release (The hotkeys for ports 10 and above should be of the format CTRL+ALT+1>0 etc.). The * sign inserts a pause with a user-definable duration.

Pressing the Apply button finally changes the values permanently in the SmartView World IP section.
