10.Java Client (continued)

10.2Java Client OSD

When you bring up the OSD, the Main Screen comes up in the center of your monitor.

The remote OSD is the same as the local OSD, except the Log tab is not available. The Log can be accessed remotely via the remote main page (see section 8.2, Webpage Layout). The Main tab (see section 7.2), the Configuration tab (see section 7.6.2) and the Administration tab (see section 7.6) all function exactly as described earlier in this manual.

Note: The Administration tab is disabled for users who don’t have administration privileges.

10.3 Java Client Control Panel

Instead of a control panel like the one that the Windows Client uses, the

Java Client has a hidden control panel, located at the bottom center of the

screen. The panel becomes visible when the mouse pointer is moved over

it. The Java Client Control Panel icons and their functions are described in the sections that follow.

Set Video Parameters

Clicking this button brings up the Video Adjustment dialog box:

The Video Settings dialog box functions exactly the same as the Video Option dialog box in the Windows Client. (see section 9.3.2, Video Adjustment, for details)

Keypad

Some keyboard combinations cannot be captured and sent to the KVM switch when using the Java client. In order to implement their effects on the remote system, this function provides a one-click implementation of some common window control combinations.

Mouse Synchronization

At times the local mouse movement may lose sync with the remote mouse movement. The Mouse Synchronization function gets them back into sync. There are two methods available to bring the pointers into sync:

1.Click the Mouse Synchronization button; wait for the remote mouse pointer to move to the upper left corner of the screen; move your local mouse pointer directly on top of the remote pointer, and click.

2.Move your local mouse pointer over the Java Client Control Panel, and click.

Additional Mouse Synchronization Procedures

If the previous mouse synchronization procedures fail to resolve mouse pointer problems for particular computers, try the following:

Note: These procedures are to be performed on the computers attached to the KVM switches ports - not on the computer you are using to remotely access the KVM switch. In order for the local and remote mice to synchronize, you must use the generic mouse driver supplied with the Windows operating system. If you have a third party driver installed - such as one supplied by the mouse manufacturer - you must remove it.
