SMART IP EXTENDER

Automatic Detection - The encoding and the compression level is determined automatically from the available bandwidth and the current content of the video image.

Normal - Best suited for many parallel users in a LAN environment.

Compressed - For low bandwidth Modem connections. 1 is the lowest and 9 the highest compression rate. The IP Extender takes time to compress the data. This option shouldn't be used when many users want access simultaneously

Various Remote Console Options

Start in Monitor Mode - Check this option to open the Remote Console window in read only mode.

Exclusive Access- Enables the Exclusive Access mode at Remote Console startup. This forces the Remote Consoles of all other users to close. No one can open the Remote Console until this user disables the Exclusive Access or logs off.

Remote Console Type

Default Java-VM– Uses your Browser’s default Java Virtual Machine. This may be the Microsoft JVM for the Internet Explorer or the Sun JVM if it is configured this way. Use of the Sun JVM may also be forced (see below).

Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plugin - Uses Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plugin - Sets the administration system’s Web browser to use the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) of Sun Microsystems. The JVM is used to run the code for the Remote Console window, which is actually a Java Applet. If the Java plug-in is not installed on your system, it will be downloaded and installed automatically. The download is about 11 Mbytes. The JVM provides a stable and identical Java Virtual Machine across different platforms. The Remote Console software is optimized for this JVM version and offers wider range of functionality when run in SUN's JVM.

Tip! The software is on the Marketing & Documentation CD. So, if you have a slow Internet connection, pre-install the JVM on your administration machine.

ActiveX control - Use an ActiveX control instead of a Java applet - This is the ActiveX-Control of the KVM Vision Viewer - an application available separately. You must install the viewer on your local system. See the Viewer Guide for further information. This option only works with Microsoft Internet Explorer on Win32 Systems.

Mouse hotkey - Used for fast mouse synchronization in Double Mouse mode and to free the grabbed mouse when in single mouse mode.
