Transmission Encoding

 

 

 

 

Field

Description

 

 

 

 

Automatic Detection

This option uses an algorithm to try to determine what sort of connection is

 

 

being used, and sets up parameters to match. These settings may change

 

 

from login to login depending on the state of the network at that point.

 

Preconfigured

Establishes a set of parameters optimized for each of a number of

 

 

connection types. The default transmission encoding is LAN (high color),

 

 

which is uncompressed with a 16 bit color depth. Other data networks may

 

 

be chosen from the Network speed drop-down list, and the compression

 

 

and color depth will be configured accordingly.

 

Manual

Allows the direct control of the compression factor and color depth. The

 

 

simplest way to reduce bandwidth is to cut the color depth down to 8 bits;

 

 

subtle color shades will be gone but the overall image is very usable. Dialing

 

 

up the compression level also makes available even further reductions in

 

 

color depth, all the way down to black and white (1 bit.) As compression level

 

 

increases and/or color depth decreases, image quality and responsiveness

 

 

to changes deteriorates but required bandwidth is reduced.

 

KVM Console Type

 

 

 

 

 

Field

Description

 

 

 

 

Default Java VM

Select this option to use Java on the client system launching the applet. If no

 

 

Java environment is installed, the console window will not launch. The

 

 

default is enabled.

 

Sun Microsystems Java

Force the system to use the platform-independent Sun version instead when

 

Browser Plugin

launching the Remote Console applet.

Note: Users have two ways to deploy the Remote Console program. Both provide the same functionality and differ only in deployment method. The default is Java Web Start. Applet deployment is available in case the user cannot connect via Java Web Start. This usually should not happen unless the user has a special proxy server or firewall that blocks Java Web Start.

KVM Console Deployment

Field

Description

 

 

Java Web Start

Select this option to use Java Web Start deployment method.

Applet

Select this option to use the Applet deployment method.

Miscellaneous KVM Console Settings

 

 

Field

Description

 

 

Start in Monitor Mode

Results in the Remote Console window being view-only when launched for

 

this user. This may be changed to interactive mode from within the Remote

 

Console window, if the user has appropriate permission.
