6. KVM Operation (continued)

6.6.6 Remote Control Panel (continued)

The table describes each of the settings in the Video Settings screen:

Setting

Description

 

 

Screen Position

Adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the remote computer window by clicking the arrow buttons.

 

 

Auto-Sync

Click the Auto-Syncbutton to automatically synchronize the remote screen with the local screen.

 

Note: Upon performing an Auto-Sync, the local and remote mouse pointers are automatically synced as well.

 

 

RGB

Drag the slider bars to adjust the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values. If the Set to grayscale checkbox is checked, the remote

 

video is displayed in black and white. Setting the video to grayscale will decrease the amount of information traveling over the

 

network and can help improve keyboard and mouse response time.

 

 

Gamma

This setting allows you to adjust the video display’s gamma level. (See the Gamma Adjustment Section for details.)

 

 

Video Quality

Drag the slider bar to adjust the overall video quality of the remote screen. A higher video quality setting may slow down the

 

keyboard and mouse response time.

 

 

Enable Refresh

The KVM switch can be set to redraw the screen every 1 to 99 seconds, eliminating unwanted artifacts from the screen. Check

 

the Enable refresh checkbox and enter in a number from 1 to 99 to have the KVM refresh at the desired time intervals. By

 

default, this feature is disabled, and the Enable refresh checkbox is unchecked.

 

 

Transparency

This setting adjusts the transparency of the remote OSD toolbar.

 

 

Color Depth Control

This setting adjusts the amount of color information that is being sent over the network. To enable this setting, check the Enabled

 

check box. A higher setting will provide more color, which may slow down keyboard and mouse response time. A lower setting will

 

reduce the amount of information being sent over the network, and may improve keyboard and mouse response time.

 

 

Gamma Adjustment

If it is necessary to correct the gamma level for the remote video display, use the Gamma function in the Video Settings screen.

Under Basic configuration, there are ten preset and four user-defined levels to choose from. Go through the options in the drop-down list box to find a setting that works for you.

For greater control, clicking the Advanced button brings up the following dialog box:

Click and drag the diagonal line at as many points as you wish to achieve the display output you desire.

Click Save As to save up to four user-defined configurations derived from this method. Saved configurations can be recalled from the list box at a future time.

Click Reset to abandon any changes and return the gamma line to its original diagonal position.

Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog box.

Click Cancel to abandon your changes and close the dialog box.

Note: For best results, change the gamma while viewing a remote computer.

Video Auto Sync

Clicking the Video Auto Sync icon on the control panel will perform a Video Auto Sync. This is the same action that is performed when connecting to a remote computer, or when clicking the Auto-Syncbutton in the Video Settings screen.

Gray Scale

Clicking the Gray Scale icon on the control panel will display the remote screen in black and white. This is the same action that is performed by checking the Set to grayscale checkbox in the Video Settings screen.

Message Board

This KVM Switch supports multiple user logins, which can possibly give rise to access conflicts. To alleviate this problem, a message board feature has been provided, allowing users to communicate with each other:
