Lindy P16-IP Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plugin, Miscellaneous Remote Console Settings

Section 4 IP Access Configuration & Operation

Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plugin

Instructs the web browser of your administration system to use Sun’s JVM. The JVM in the browser is used to run the code for the Remote Console window which is actually a Java Applet. If you check this box for the first time on your administration system and the appropriate Java plug-in is not already installed on your system, it will be downloaded and installed automatically. However, in order to make the installation possible, you still need to answer the appropriate dialogs with yes. The download size is around 11MB. The advantage of downloading Sun©s JVM is in providing a stable and identical Java Virtual Machine across different platforms. The Remote Console software is optimized for Sun JVM versions and offers wider range of functionality when run with JVM.

Miscellaneous Remote Console Settings

Start in Monitor Mode Sets the initial value for the monitor mode. By default the monitor mode is off. In case you switch it on, the Remote Console window will be started in a read only mode.

Start in Exclusive Access Mode Enables the exclusive access mode immediately at Remote Console startup. This forces the Remote Consoles of all other users to close. No one can open the Remote Console at the same time again until this user disables the exclusive access or logs off.

Mouse hotkey

Allows the user to specify a hotkey combination which starts either the mouse synchronization process if pressed in the Remote Console or is used to leave the single mouse mode.

Remote Console Button Keys

This allows simulating keystrokes on the remote system that cannot be generated locally. The reason for this might be a missing key or the fact that the local operating system of the Remote Console is unconditionally catching this keystroke already. Typical examples are Control+Alt+Delete in Windows and DOS, which is always caught, or Control+Backspace on Linux for terminating the X-Server. The syntax to define a new Button Key is as follows:

[confirm] <keycode>[+-[*]<keycode>]*

confirm requests confirmation by a dialog box before the key strokes will be sent to the remote host.

keycode is the key to be sent. Multiple key codes can be joined with a plus, or a minus sign. The plus sign builds key combinations; all keys will be pressed until a minus sign or the end of the combination is encountered. In this case all pressed keys will be released in reversed sequence. So the minus sign builds single, separate key presses and releases. The star inserts a pause with duration of 100 milliseconds.
