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).
