32 ULTRAVIEW REMOTE 2 INSTALLATIO N AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
Mouse Control
This option displays a mouse control dialog box and is us eful when the remote cursor is failing to respond corr ectly to
your mouse movements, even after using the Re-sync and calibr ation mouse option.
The mouse control dialog allows you to control the remote m ouse cursor manually using a selection of buttons that
you click with your local mouse. Additional options also allow you to restore the settings of a mouse that has failed t o
operate correctly.
Keyboard Control
This option displays a keyboard control dialog and is u seful for sending keyboard combinations (to the host) t hat are
needed regularly.
When entering codes:
+ means press down the key that follows
– means release the key that f ollows
+– means press down and releas e the key that follows
* means wait 250ms (note: if a number immediately foll
ows the asterisk, then the delay will equal the number , in
milliseconds - *300 = 300 ms wait)
It is automatically assumed that all keys specified will be rel eased at the end, so there is no need to specify -Ctrl or -
Alt if these keys are to be released together.
See Appendix 7 for a list of key sequence codes that can b e used.
Examples:
‘Ctrl + F12’ to invoke the KVM switch module’s OSD would be expressed as: +-Ctrl+-F12
‘Ctrl + Esc’ to invoke the KVM switch module’s CPU port select ion wi ndo w would be express ed as: +-C trl+-Esc
Video Settings
This dialog provides access to all of the key video settings t hat determine image quality and link performance.
Using automatic configurations
• Every setting can be individually subjected to an automatic config uration (click the appropriate ‘Auto’ button) and
most can also be manually adjusted.
• Use the Calibrate All button to automatically determine the optimum settings for all items.
Note: Before using the ‘Calibrate All’ option, if possible, remove on-screen dis play (OSD) elements generated
by any connected KVM switches (such as a host name label or menu). These OSD elements use
different video rates to those of the host system(s) and can aff ect the setting of the automatic threshold
value. UltraView Remote-2 uses an improved calculation proce dure to filter out the effect of these
elements. However, best results are obtained when the sc reen contains only host system information.
Note: To maximize performance, the threshold level is automatically increased by 50% when a slow link is
detected.
Note: If the UltraView Remote-2 is used with one or more KVM sw itches, the threshold needs to be higher
than 32 due to the significant amounts of ‘noise’ that these s witches introduce. The UltraView Remote-2
configuration should detect such noise and adjust the threshol d accordingly.
Setting the Threshold manually
Occasionally it can be useful to manually adjust the Thres hold setting, in order to achieve a setting that best suits
your particular requirements.
1 Use the ‘Calibrate All’ function to ensure that all other s ettings are optimized.
2 Click the Threshold left arrow button to decrement the s etting by one and observe the ‘Display Activity’
indicator.
3 Repeat step 2 until the Display Activity indicator suddenl y rises to a much higher level (i.e. 50%). This will
mean that you have reached the noise boundary. At this point, increment the Threshold value by 2 or 3 points
to achieve an optimum setting.
Virtual Media
The Remote Virtual Media feature is not implemented on this model
Info
When selected, this option displays an information dialog s howing the current logged on users, the current host, its
video mode and its mouse motion details.
