KVM Over the NET™ User Manual

Mouse DynaSync Mode

Synchronization of the local and remote mouse pointers is accomplished either automatically or manually.

Automatic Mouse Synchronization (DynaSync)

Mouse DynaSync provides automatic locked-in synching of the remote and local mouse pointers – eliminating the need to constantly resync the two movements.

Note: This feature is only available for Windows and Mac systems (G4 and higher) whose adapter attribute OS setting is configured for Win or Mac (see Port Properties, page 86), which are connected to the switch with one of the following Adapter Cables: KA7170, KA7175, KA7176, or KA9170.

All other configurations must use manual mouse synchronization (described in the next section).

The icon on the toolbar indicates the synchronization mode status as follows:

Function

This icon displays in gray to indicate that Mouse DynaSync is not available – you must use manual synching procedures. This is the default setting for all KVM Adapters other than the KA7170, KA7175, KA7176, and KA9170.

The green check mark on this icon indicates that Mouse DynaSync is available and is enabled. This is the default setting when Mouse DynaSync is available. (See the Note, above.)

The red X on this icon indicates that Mouse DynaSync is available but is not enabled.

When Mouse DynaSync is available, clicking the icon toggles its status between enabled and /disabled. If you choose to disable Mouse DynaSync mode, you must use the manual synching procedures described in the next section.
