Black Box kv1161a, kv1081a manual Mouse pointers, Host selection, Configure, To select a host

Mouse pointers

Both viewers provide a double mouse cursor to help overcome any delays caused by slow connections. When you move your mouse you will see two mouse cursors, a local one that responds immediately to your movements and a second, slower moving, cursor that represents the current mouse position at the host.

For the browser viewer, the local cursor is a typical arrow:

Local cursor

Remote host cursor

For the VNC viewer, the local cursor is a dot:

Local dot cursor

Remote host cursor

Additionally, for fast network connections, the VNC viewer also provides a single mouse mode. See Controls - Single Mouse for details.

Single local cursor

Host selection

The Hosts button on the menu bar provides the quickest and most efficient way to switch between host computers. This is because the button is close at hand, but also because the screen calibration details for each host are reused when this method of switching is used. The alternative is to use hotkey combinations or the ServSwitch CX Uno IP on-screen menu.

Note: The Hosts button is displayed only when the switching details for two or more computers have been declared within the configuration section by the admin user.

To select a host

1Click the Hosts button to display a list of computers.

Note: If there are ten or less entries, then the list will appear as a simple drop down (as shown below).

2Click the required computer name to view and control it.

You can use the List Order option to determine whether the hosts are listed by their entry number or alphabetically.

See Appendix 2 - Host configuration for details about programming new hosts into the ServSwitch CX Uno IP (‘admin’ user status required).

Configure

This option is displayed only when you are logged on as the ‘admin’ user. When selected it provides access to a wide range of ServSwitch CX Uno IP settings.

See Appendix 2 - Configuration pages via viewer for more details.
