Single port PS2 KVM over IP

Video quality and speed

Using this option it is possible to tune the video system of PS/2 KVM over IP switch to either maximize picture quality or speed. When set to "best quality" the picture looks clean but the video update speed won’t be as fast as possible. If responsiveness is more important to you than achieving the best quality, set the option to ’high speed’. In this mode, artifacts will appear. Please note, that the difference is only clearly visible when using fast network links and the normal compression for the Remote Console. This option is not available on all hardware versions of PS/2 KVM over IP switch

5.4.4 User Specific Settings

The following settings are user specific. That means, the super user can customize these Settings for every users separately. Changing the settings for one user does not affect the settings for others.

. User select box

This control will show the user ID for which the values are shown and for which changes will take effect. You might change the settings of other users in case you have the necessary access rights.

5.4.5 Remote Console Type

Specifies, which Remote Console Viewer use.

– Default Java-VM

Use the default Java Virtual Machine of your Browser. This may be the Microsoft JVM for the Internet Explorer or the Sun JVM if it is configured this way. Use of the Sun JVM may also be forced (see below).

– Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plug-in

Instructs the web browser of your administration system to use the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) of Sun Microsystems. The JVM in the browser is used to run the code for the Remote Console window, which is actually a Java Applet. If you check this box for the first time on your administration system and the appropriate Java plug-in is not already installed on your system, it will be downloaded and installed automatically. However, in order to make the installation possible, you still need to answer the according dialogs with YES. The download volume is around 11 Mbytes. The advantage of downloading Sun’s JVM lays in providing a stable and identical Java Virtual Machine across different platforms. The Remote Console software is optimized for this JVM versions and offers wider range of functionality when run in SUN’s JVM. (Hint: If you are connected over a slow connection to the Internet you can also pre-install the JVM on your administration machine. The software is available on the CD that is delivered along with PS/2 KVM over IP switch.)

5.4.6 Mouse hotkey

Allows to specify a hotkey combination which starts either the mouse synchronization process if pressed in the Remote Console (see Section 5.4.2 for more information) or is used to leave the single mouse mode. The key codes are listed in Appendix B.

5.4.7 Button Keys

Button Keys are meant for simulating keystrokes on the remote system that cannot be generated locally. The reason for this might be a missing key or the fact, that the local operating system of the Remote Console is unconditionally catching this keystroke already. Typical examples are ‘Control Alt Delete’ on Windows and DOS, what is always caught or ‘Control Backspace’ on
