Verifying Ethernet connections

2.6Verifying Ethernet connections

The Ethernet connection has two LEDs. The green LED on the right is the Link indicator. It is lit when a valid connection to the network is established, and it flashes when there is activity on the port. The amber/green LED on the left indicates that you are communicating at 100 Mbps (amber) or 1000 Mbps (green) when using the Ethernet connection.

2.7Configuring the KVM s3 Client

See the KVM s3 Client User Guide included on the CD with the software.

2.8Adjusting mouse settings

Before a computer connected to the KVM s3-1621 or KVM s3-1641 appliance can be used for remote user control, you must set the target mouse speed and turn off acceleration.

If you are experiencing slow mouse response during a remote video session, deactivate mouse acceleration in the operating system of the target device and set the mouse speed at 50%.

2.9Attaching earlier appliance models to a KVM s3-1621 or s3-1641 appliance

You can add earlier appliance models for integration into the existing configuration. In a tiered system, each ARI port will accommodate one target device. When earlier appliance models are tiered under the KVM s3-1621 or KVM s3-1641 appliance, the KVM s3-1621 or KVM s3-1641 appliance must be at the top level of the tier. See the following list for earlier appliance models that are compatible with the KVM s3-1621 or KVM s3-1641 appliance configuration:

Table 1 lists earlier KVM appliance models.

Earlier appliance model	Remote users	Local Users	ARI ports
