Instruction Manual

In/Ej: Insert or eject the emulated USB disk. Enabled only if the host recognizes the USB disk.

R/W: Shows if the disk image is readable and/or writable. If the disk is readable, the R letter will be white. Whenever the host reads from the disk, the R letter will glow green for a few seconds. Whenever the host is writing to the disk, the W letter will glow for a few seconds.

8M: The type of USB disk selected is indicated here. The letters Flpy indicate floppy disk and CD indicates emulated CD-ROM.

PS/2: This area will show either PS/2 (as in this example) or USB to indicate if keyboard and mouse are being emulated via USB connection or PS/2 signals. If Autosync appears beneath this indicator, the mouse pointers on the local mouse and the VNC session will be synchronized automatically.

[1][A][S]: These flags show the state of the keyboard lights, NumLock, ShiftLock and ScrollLock respectively.
