Status

Current status of the attached system and the status of the unit.

B/W Min/Avg/Max/Auto

Bandwidth control. Current operation will be indicated with white highlighting. If you choose Min/Avg/Max then you will override the default, Auto. As the automatic mode measures actual network performance, you may see the current mode switch from Min up to Avg or Max. The different modes indicate more time spent on compression versus more bandwidth. There is no visual difference between the modes, but there can be a noticeable difference in speed and smoothness.

Mouse Resync

Resynchronizes the mouse pointer so that the local and remote mouse pointers are on top of each other.

PS/2 Reset

Resets the PS/2 emulation going to the host and to the attached PS/2 devices. This can be used if the mouse stops responding or the PS/2 keyboard isn’t working.

USB Replug

Simulates unplugging the USB connector and then plugging it back in. If the host is not recognizing USB input devices, this button may be used to restore functionality.

Take Control

When multiple users are connected to the same system, use this button to take control away from another user. Only one user may control the keyboard and mouse at any time. All users see the same picture. Please note: It is important that multiple users not be connected to the same physical network.
