Mouse scaling command

Mouse scaling cannot be specified in a KVM session profile.

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 set mouse scaling:

1.Select Tools - Session Options from the Video Viewer menu or click the Session Options button. The Session Options dialog box appears.

2.Click the Mouse tab.

3.To use one of the preconfigured settings, enable a radio button.

•In the Default 1:1 scaling ratio, every mouse movement on the desktop window will send an equivalent mouse movement to the server.

•In the High 2:1 scaling ratio, the same mouse movement will send a 2X mouse movement.

•In the Low 1:2 scaling ratio, the value will be 1/2X.

4.To set custom scaling, click the Custom radio button. The X and Y fields become enabled. Type a mouse scaling value in the X and Y fields. For every mouse input, the mouse movements are multiplied by the respective X and Y scaling factors. Valid input ranges are 0.25-3.00.

Avocent Mouse Sync

Enabling Avocent Mouse Sync in the KVM session profile provides improved mouse tracking on the target device. If Avocent Mouse Sync is enabled, it is not necessary to disable mouse acceleration on the target device.

If overrides are allowed (see Managing KVM session profiles on page 259), the primary user can require the Video Viewer to override the profile settings.

NOTE: Avocent Mouse Sync is supported on Windows or Macintosh target devices connected with a USB2 IQ module.
