Toggle OSD

Toggles the OSD display Off and On.

 

 

Toggle mouse display

If you find the display of the two mouse pointers (local and

 

remote) to be confusing or annoying, you can use this

 

function to shrink the non-functioning pointer down to a

 

barely-noticeable tiny circle - which can be ignored. Since

 

this function is a toggle - use the hotkeys again to bring the

 

mouse display back to its original configuration.

 

 

Adjust mouse

This utility synchronizes the local and remote mouse

 

movements following a video resolution change. After

 

invoking this utility, simply click the local mouse pointer on

 

top of the remote mouse pointer.

 

 

Substitute Alt key

Although all other keyboard input is captured and sent to

 

the CN-5000, [Alt + Tab] and [Ctrl + Alt + Del] work on your

 

local computer. In order to implement their effects on the

 

remote system, a function key is be substituted for the Alt

 

key. If you substitute the F12 key, for example, you would

 

use [F12 + Tab] and [Ctrl + F12 + Del].

 

 

Note: To invoke an action, you must press and release the keys one key at a time - do not chord the keys.
