IP Access Configuration & Operation

USB Mouse Type

Enables USB mouse type. Choose between MS Windows 2000 or newer for MS Windows 2000 or Windows XP, or Other Operating Systems for MS Windows NT, Linux, or OS X. In MS Windows 2000 or newer mode the remote mouse is always synchronized with the local mouse.

Mouse Speed

￿Auto mouse speed Use this option if the mouse settings on the host use an additional acceleration setting. The CAT-32 IP tries to detect the acceleration and speed of the mouse during the mouse sync process.

￿Fixed mouse speed Use a direct translation of mouse movements between the local and the remote pointer.

You may also set a fixed scaling which determines the amount the remote mouse pointer is moved when the local mouse pointer is moved by one pixel. This option only works when the mouse settings on the host are linear. This means that there is no mouse acceleration involved.

To set the options, click on the Apply button.

VideoMiscellaneous Video SettingsNoise filter

This option defines how the CAT-32 IP reacts to small changes in the video input signal. A large filter setting needs less network traffic and leads to a faster video display, but small changes in some display regions may not be recognized immediately. A small filter displays all changes instantly but may lead to a constant amount of network traffic even if the display content is not really changing (depending on the quality of the video input signal). In general the default settings should be suitable for most situations.

IP Access Configuration & Operation

Force Composite Sync (Required for Sun Computers)

To support signal transmission from a Sun machine, enable this option. If not enabled the picture of the remote console will not be visible. To set the options, click Apply.

5.7.5. Device Settings

Network

The Network Settings panel allows network related parameters to be changed. Each parameter will be explained below. Once applied the new network settings will immediately come into effect.

Note: The initial IP configuration is usually done directly at the host system using the special procedure in the beginning of Section 5.

Changing the network settings of the KVM over IP module might result in losing connection to it. In case you change the settings remotely make sure that all the values are correct and you still have an option to access the KVM over IP module.
