| 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 |
|
| 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 |
| 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 |
| this user. This may be changed to interactive mode from within the Remote |
| Console window, if the user has appropriate permission. |
