Functionality

The Spider device captures the video output from the attached computer, compresses and sends it over the network to a Java KVM console window launched by the browser or to a command line interface on the user system, which displays a replica of the server video output on the user monitor.

The Spider device also uses Java KVM coaxnsole to accept keystrokes and mouse movements on the user system; recognizes those intended for the target computer; transmits the keystrokes and mouse movements; and emulates a physically attached keyboard and mouse.

Note: The Spider device supports up to 1600 x 1200 resolution at 60 Hz if its hardware revision is G22, G23, E21 or higher. If the Spider device hardware is an earlier revision, it will only support resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz. The hardware revision number can be found on the Product Information Label as shown in Figure 2-8.
