Performance Notes

•All images over the PPP connection will be grayscale to conserve bandwidth. If other users are connected while a PPP session is active, their screens will be in grayscale as well. When PPP is inactive, color is automatically re-enabled.

•Some areas of the screen may not be updated as frequently as others, and animations or other auto-updating areas of the screen may appear out-of-focus or “blocky” as a result. Since the area around the mouse pointer is refreshed most frequently, hold the pointer over an area to improve its clarity.

•It may be beneficial to minimize any unnecessary icons, backgrounds, or other clutter on the host computer’s desktop to make the dial-up connection as efficient as possible.

•If you need to configure the device over a serial connection while the modem option is enabled, connect a serial cable (see immediately above for instructions on what type of cable to use for the port you are accessing on the SV441DUSBI) and begin a terminal session following the instructions under Terminal Configuration Using a Serial Cable in this manual. Once connected, you will see the following message:

Expecting a modem, if human, type admin password (Or start PPP)

Type the password for user admin and press Enter. The password will not appear on the screen. The configuration menu will appear. Make the changes you wish or press q and Enter to exit and leave the modem con- nection active.
