Chapter 5. Usage

Local Keyboard

Used to change the language mapping of your browser machine running the Re- mote Console Applet. Normally, the applet determines the correct value automati- cally. However, depending on your particular JVM and your browser settings this is not always possible. A typical example is a German localized system that uses a US-English keyboard mapping. In this case you have to change the Local Keyboard setting to the right language manually.

Hotkeys

Opens a list of hotkeys defined before. In order to send a registered command to the host system choose the according entry.

A confirmation dialog can be added that will be displayed before sending the selected command to the remote host. Choose “OK” to perform the command on the remote host. For a detailed description see the Section called Remote Console Button Keys in Chapter 6.

Encoding

These options are used to adjust the encoding level in terms of compression and color depth. They are only available unless “Transmission Encoding” is determined automatically (see the Section called Transmission Encoding in Chapter 6).

•Compression level

You may select an value between 1 and 9 for the desired compression level with level 1 enabling the fastest compression and level 9 the best compression. The most suitable compression level should always be seen as a compromise between the network bandwith that is available, on your video picture to be transferred, and on the number of changes between two single video pictures. We recommend to use a higher compression level if the network bandwidth is low. The higher the compression level the more time is necessary to both pack or unpack the video data on either side of the connection. The compression quality depends on the video picture itself, e.g. the number of the colors or the diversity of pixels. The lower the compression quality, the more data have to be sent and the longer it may take to transfer the whole video picture.

If level 0 is chosen the video compression is disabled, completely.

The option “Video Optimized” has its advantages if transferring high-quality mo- tion pictures. In this case the video compression is disabled, completely and all video data is transferred via network as full-quality video snippets. Therefore, a high amount of bandwidth is required to ensure the quality of the video picture.
