Mouse Sync Mode
In the Customization Settingsscreen(se epage26)therearetwomousesyncmodes;Automatic and Manual.
• Automaticisselectedasthedefault,andwillautomaticallysynctheremotea ndlocalmousepointers;however,thisfeatureonlysupportsUSB
mice on Windows and Mac (G4 or higher) systems. For all other configurations, we recommend t hat you select Manual.
• WhenManual is checked, all mouse syncing must be done manua lly with the syncing procedures discussed in the following sections. Sun
systems must use the Manual setting.
USB IO Settings
The Customization Settings screen (see page 27) cont ains a section called USB IO Settings, which can have an affect on mouse f unctionality.
When connecting to a computer or KVM switch with the USB connector for keyboard a nd mouse, it is necessary to access the OS drop-down list
in this section to select the OS platform being used. Choices are P C, Mac1, Mac2, and Sun. PC is the default OS.
Note: In general, Mac 1 works best with older Mac OS versions, wherea s Mac 2 works best with newer ones. This may vary, howe ver. If you
encounter problems with one setting, try sel ecting the other one.
Adjust Mouse Hotkey
The Java Client Control Panel, which is discussed in the following sections, contains a Hotkey (Alt + M by default) that syncs the local mouse
pointer with the remote mouse pointer. Simply press the (Alt + M) Hotkey and the local and remote mouse p ointers should sync within a few
seconds.
Auto-Sync Button
In the Video Settings Menu, which is discussed in the following sections, t here is an Auto-Sync button that also server to sync the local and
remote mouse pointers. In most cases, performing an Auto-Syn c will align the two mouse pointers.
Video Quality Slider Bar
The Video Settings Menualsocontainsasliderbart hatadjuststhequalityofthevideobeingdisplayedonthemonitor.Thehigherthequal ityof
the video, the more data is being passed through the net work. Higher volumes of data will cause a delay in the time that it takes for your keyboard
andmouseinputtoappearonthemonitor.Todecreasethequalityofthevideoandimp roveresponsetime,adjusttheVideo Quality slider bar to

Detect Tolerance Slider Bar
Also in the Video Settings Menu, the Detect Tolerancesliderbarca nbeadjustedtolimittheamountofinformationbeingsentt hroughthe

Grayscale
Another icon contained in the Java Client Control Panel (see the following section) is the Grays cale icon. Clicking this icon will force the video
on the monitor to be displayed in grayscale, which can reduce the amount of data tr aveling through the network, and improving keyboard and
mouse response time.
