This is the net mask of the connected IP subnet. This option is only available if IP auto configuration is disabled.

Gateway (0.0.0.0 for none) [0.0.0.0]:

This is the IP address of the default router for the connected IP subnet. If you do not have a default router, enter 0.0.0.0. This option is only available if IP auto configuration is disabled.

3.4 Keyboard, Mouse, and Video Configuration

Between the IKVM-1000 and the host, there are two interfaces available for transmitting keyboard and mouse signals: USB and PS/2. The correct operation of the remote mouse depends on several settings, which will be discussed in the following subsections.

3.4.1 Keyboard Settings

The IKVM-1000 settings for the host's keyboard type must be corrected in order to make the remote keyboard work properly. See Section 5.4.2 in details.

3.4.2 Remote Mouse Settings

A common issue with KVM devices is the synchronization between the local and remote mouse cursors. The IKVM-1000 addresses this situation with an intelligent synchronization algorithm. There are two mouse modes available on the IKVM- 1000.

Auto mouse speed

The automatic mouse speed mode tries to detect the speed and acceleration settings of the host system automatically. See the section below for a more detailed explanation.

Fixed mouse speed

This mode just translates the mouse movements from the Remote Console in a way that one pixel move will lead to n pixel moves on the remote system. This parameter n is adjustable with the scaling. It should be noted that this works only when mouse acceleration is turned off on the remote system.

3.4.3 Auto Mouse Speed and Mouse Synchronization

The automatic mouse speed mode performs the speed detection during mouse synchronization. Whenever the mouse does not move correctly, there are two ways for re-synchronizing local and remote mouse:

Fast Sync
