Cursor commands

The mouse cursor and key for exiting single cursor mode commands may also be specified in a KVM session profile; see Cursor profile settings on page 257.

The commands to enter and exit single cursor mode and the command to align the mouse cursors cannot be set in a KVM session profile.

NOTE: If the target device does not support the ability to disconnect and reconnect the mouse (almost all newer PCs do), then the mouse will become disabled and the device will have to be rebooted.

To prevent potential mouse conflicts, you may configure certain settings on each server connected to a managed appliance. For details, see the Mouse and Pointer Settings Technical Brief, which is available on the DSView 3 software DVD and on the Avocent web site.

To align the mouse cursors:

If your mouse or keyboard no longer responds properly, align the mouse to re-establish proper tracking. Alignment causes the local cursor to be aligned with the
