When using the viewer window

What is the best screen resolution to use?
The.best.resolution.for.your.computer.is.one.that.is.larger.than.the.screen.of.the.host.
computer.that.you.are.viewing..This.will.allow.you.to.see.everything.without.scrolling.
around..Alternatively,.the.VNC.viewer.can.be.set.to.scale.the.image.to.fit.your.screen,.
but.remember.that.some.pixel.dithering.effect.will.be.seen.when.scaling.is.used..
How do I navigate around a larger screen?
If.the.screen.that.you.are.viewing.has.a.larger.resolution.than.your.viewing.window.
you.will.need.to.scroll.around.to.see.all.items..The.viewer.window.allows.you.to.
‘bump.scroll’.(only.in.full.screen.mode)..This.means.that.when.your.mouse.cursor.
bumps.against.the.edge.of.the.screen,.the.screen.image.will.scroll.across.automatically...
How do I escape from full screen mode?
Press.the.F8.button..This.button.is.changeable.but.is.most.often.set.to.F8...
Why is the button flashing red?
This.happens.when.a.new.host.screen.is.viewed.(that.has.not.been.viewed.before)..
Click.the. .button.to.perform.an.auto.calibration.for.the.screen.and.the.mouse..
See.Auto calibrate.for.important.information.about.this.feature.
How do I change between host computers?
The.best.way.to.change.between.host.computers.is.to.click.the.‘Hosts’.button.and.
then.select.the.required.computer.by.name..See.Host selection.
How do I remove traces of moved items from the screen?
When.you.move.an.item.or.window.across.the.screen,.sometimes.it.can.leave.
unsightly.trails..These.are.called.artifacts.and.can.be.particularly.prevalent.when.the.
connection.speed.is.low..To.remove.artifacts,.click.the.‘Controls’.button.and.select.
the.‘Refresh.screen’.option..See.Controls.
How do I make the most of a slow connection?
The.VNC.viewer.is.slightly.better.suited.to.slower.connections.than.the.browser.
viewer.because.it.offers.more.options..Click.the.Options.button.of.the.VNC.viewer.
when.entering.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.address.during.log.on...
Adjust the Threshold setting
Ensure.that.the.video.Threshold setting.is.set.higher.than.the.automatic.setting.
suggests..Tweak.this.setting.manually.to.ensure.the.best.setting...
Fewer colours
Select.the.Low (64 colours).mode..The.Very.low.option.offers.hardly.any.
improvement.and.looks.a.lot.worse.
Rate limit mouse events
When.selected,.this.mode.greatly.reduces.the.mouse.movement.data.that.are.sent.
to.the.host.computer..When.you.move.the.local.mouse,.the.remote.cursor.will.catch.
