8/16 PS/2 KVM over IP switch

PS/2 Keyboard Model

Enables a certain keyboard layout. You can choose between “Generic 101-Key PC” for a standard keyboard layout, “Generic 104-Key PC” for a standard keyboard layout extendend by three additional windows keys, “Generic 106-Key PC” for a japanese keyboard, and “Apple Macintosh” for the Apple Macintosh.

USB Mouse Type

Enables USB mouse type. Choose between “MS Windows 2000 or newer” for MS Windows 2000 or Windows XP, or “ Other Operating Systems ” for MS Windows NT, Linux, or OS X. In “MS Windows 2000 or newer” mode the remote mouse is always synchronized with the local mouse.

Mouse Speed

•Auto mouse speed

Use this option if the mouse settings on host use an additional acceleration setting. The PS/2 IP-KVM switch tries to detect the acceleration and speed of the mouse during the mouse sync process.

•Fixed mouse speed

Use a direct translation of mouse movements between the local and the remote pointer.

You may also set a fixed scaling which determines the amount the remote mouse pointer is moved when the local mouse pointer is moved by one pixel. This option only works when the mouse settings on the host are linear. This means that there is no mouse acceleration involved.

To set the options, click on the button “Apply”.
