3-3 Mouse, Keyboard, and Video Configuration

Between the RIPM and the host, there are two interfaces available for
transmitting keyboard and mouse data: USB and PS/2 (available separately). The
correct operation of the remote mouse depends on several settings, which will
be discussed in the following subsections.

Remote IP Manager USB Interface

To use the USB interface, you need to use correct cabling between the managed
host and the managing device. For example, if the managed host has no USB
keyboard support in the BIOS and you have connected the USB cable only, then
you will have no remote-keyboard access during the boot process of the host.
Please see the "Keyboard/Mouse" section on page 48.

Remote IP Manager Keyboard Settings

The RIPM settings for the host's keyboard type must be correct in order to make
the remote keyboard work properly. Check the settings in the RIPM front end.
See the "Keyboard/Mouse" section on page 48.

Remote-Mouse Settings

A common problem with KVM devices is the synchronization between the local-
and remote-mouse cursors. The RIPM addresses this situation with an intelligent
synchronization algorithm. There are three mouse modes available on the RIPM.
• Auto-Mouse Speed
The automatic-mouse-speed mode tries to detect the speed and acceleration
settings of the host system automatically. See the section below for a more
detailed explanation.
• Fixed-Mouse Speed
is adjustable with the scaling. It should be noted that this works only when
mouse acceleration is turned off on the remote system.
• Single-/Double-Mouse Modes
This mode is described in the "Single- and Double-Mouse Modes" section on
page 20.
This mode translates the mouse movements from the
Remote Console in such a way that one pixel move will
lead to pixel moves on the remote system. This parameter
