Adjusting Mouse Settings on Target Devices

Before a computer connected to the AutoView 3050/3100/3200 switch can be used for remote user control, you must set the target mouse speed and turn off acceleration. For machines running Microsoft® Windows® (Windows NT®, 2000, XP, Server 2003), use the default PS/2 mouse driver.

To ensure that the local mouse movement and remote cursor display remain in sync, mouse acceleration must be set to “none” for all user accounts accessing a remote system through a KVM switch. Mouse acceleration must also be set to “none” on every remote system. Special cursors should not be used and cursor visibility options, such as pointer trails, Ctrl key cursor location animations, cursor shadowing and cursor hiding, should also be turned off.
