Chapter 5. The User Interface

The Control Panel

WinClient Control Panel

Since the WinClient ActiveX Viewer and WinClient AP Control Panel contains the most complete functionality of all the user interface control panels, this section describes the WinClient Control Panel. Although the other control panels may not have all of the features that this one does, you can refer to the information described here when using them.

The WinClient Control Panel consists of three rows: a row of icons at the top, with two text rows below it:

Note: The above image shows the complete Control Panel. The icons that appear can be customized. See Control Panel Configuration, page 78, for details.

ŠBy default, the top text row shows the video resolution of the remote display. As the mouse pointer moves over the icons in the icon bar, however, the information in the top text row changes to describe the icon's function. In addition, if a message from another user is entered in the message board, and you have not opened the message board in your session, the message will appear in the top row.

ŠThe lower row shows the IP address of the device you are accessing at the left. In the center of the bar, the number before the slash indicates which bus the user is on, while the number behind the slash indicates the number of users on that bus.

Note: See Multiuser Operation, page 163 for further information regarding the KVM Over the NETTM switch’s bus assignments.
