Intellinet Network Solutions 524100 user manual Server Name for Viewers, Keyboard Layout, Hot Keys

Server Name for Viewers

Enter the server name you chose for the video server on the switch, and it will appear on the title bar of your switch’s viewer window.

Keyboard Layout

Choose the keyboard layout for the switch according to the real keyboard you’re using on the remote login client. Choosing the correct keyboard layout for your keyboard is very important since some key codes are represented by different keys, depending on the keyboard layout. Also, a correct keyboard layout setting ensures that you’ll have a key code output on the server side that matches what you’ve input on the physical keyboard from the client computer side. The default keyboard layout is the U.S. keyboard, though the switch supports more than 60 types of keyboards used all over the world.

Largest Possible Screen

The switch supports a maximum resolution of up to 1600 x 1200 pixels. Normally, the greatest resolution support (1600 x 1200) will be the setting that is most accommodating to all display resolution requirements. However, you can still select a smaller workable resolution for your display device. If you choose a smaller resolution, be aware that any screen larger than what you specify here will not be shown on the viewer. The switch supports the following resolutions:

•640 x 400 • 640 x 480 • 800 x 600 • 1024 x 768 • 1152 x 864 • 1280 x 1024 • 1600 x 1200 (For details about the refresh rate support, go to the Video Mode Database section.)

Hot Keys

The Digital KVM over IP Switch can detect a special sequence of keystrokes when you type on your remote keyboard. This special sequence is used to ask the switch to resynchronize the local and remote mouse cursors in a fast and convenient way. For example, it is faster to type CTLR–CTLR–Home on the keyboard than to use the mouse and select a command in a menu. For compatibility with higher devices, this command is divided in two parts: viewer hot keys and a mouse resynchronization key.

The viewer hot keys are transmitted to the switch or server attached to the switch, whereas the mouse resynchronization key is filtered out by the switch. Thus, because the viewer hot keys are transmitted, they must be as harmless as possible. Viewer hot keys such as NumLock- NumLock, Scrlk-Scrlk or Ctrl-Ctrl can work because they produce, generally, no effect. On the other hand, the mouse resynchronization key can be anything since it is not transmitted by TKIP-101.

Hot keys can be configured to fit your needs, as well, based on the key positions on a standard keyboard, as shown below. Note 1: The viewer hot keys are transmitted to the switch that’s attached, thus they must be chosen so that they don’t interfere with the switch’s hot keys.

Note 2: If you’re running the Java viewer on Mac OS, you may find that the default mouse resynchronization sequence — CTLR–CTLR–Home — doesn’t work. This is because the Right Control key on a Mac keyboard sends out a different key code than a PC keyboard does. If this is the case, consider configuring your hot keys differently (CTLL-CTLL and S, as an example).
