3-4 Remote Console Control Bar
The Remote Console
•Local Cursor
Offers a list of different cursor shapes from which to choose for the local-mouse pointer. The selected shape will be saved for the current user and activated the next time this user opens the Remote Console. The number of available shapes depends on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM)—versions 1.2 and higher offer the full list.
•Video Settings
Opens a panel for changing the RIPM video settings. The RIPM features two different dialogs that influence the video settings.
•Video Settings through the HTML Front End
Select this option to enable the local video port. This option determines whether the local video output of the RIPM is active and passing through the incoming signal from the host system.
The “Noise Filter” option defines how the RIPM reacts to small changes in the video-input signal. A large filter setting needs less network traffic and leads to a faster video display, but small changes in some display regions may not be recognized immediately. A small filter displays all changes instantly but may lead to a constant amount of network traffic even if display content is not really changing (depending on the quality of the video-input signal). The default setting should be suitable for most situations.
