Single port KVM over IP switch

Pre-configured

The pre-configured settings deliver the best result because of optimized adjustment of compression and colour depth for the indicated network speed.

Manually

Allows to adjust both compression rate and the colour depth individually. Depending on the selected compression rate the data stream between the IP-KVM switch and the Remote Console will be compressed in order to save bandwidth. Since high compression rates are very time consuming, they should not be used while several users are accessing the IP-KVM switch simultaneously.

The standard color depth is 8 Bit (256 colors). The other color depths are intended for slower network connections in order to allow a faster transmission of data. Therefore compression level 0 (no compression) uses only 8 Bit color depth. At lower bandwidths only 4 Bit (16 colors) and 2 Bit (4 grey scales) are recommended for typical desktop interfaces. Photo-like pictures have best results with 4 Bit (16 grey scales). 1 Bit color depth (black/white) should only be used for extremely slow network connections.

Remote Console Type

Specifies, which Remote Console Viewer to use.

Default Java-VM

Uses 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).
