The Windows Client

The Windows Client Control Panel

The Windows Client Control Panel located in the top-center of the screen provides utilities to help you control remote KVM operations.

The icons in the control panel are described in the table below:

The panel consists of an icon bar with a text bar below it.

The text bar performs two functions; it displays the remote server’s video resolution, and also displays messages from the message board when you do not have the message board open. (See page 33 for more information about the message board.)

The control panel can be moved to any location on the screen by moving the mouse pointer over one of its borders and dragging.
