  • Page 22: Mouse, Keyboard And Video Configuration

    Mouse, Keyboard and Video Configuration There are two interfaces available for transmitting keyboard and mouse data between the B050-000 and the host: 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.

  • Page 23: Fixed Mouse Speed

    4. Configuration Fixed Mouse Speed This mode translates the mouse movements from the Remote Console in a way that one pixel move will lead to n pixel moves on the remote system. This parameter n is adjustable via scaling. It should be noted that this works only when mouse acceleration is turned off on the remote system.

  • Page 24: Host System Mouse Settings

    Warning: The following limitations do not apply in case of USB and Mouse Type “MS Windows 2000 and newer”. While the B050-000 works with accelerated mice and is able to synchronize the local with the remote mouse pointer, the following limitations may prevent this synchronization from working properly: Special Mouse Driver: There are mouse drivers, which influence the synchronization process and lead to desynchronized mouse pointers.

  • Page 25: Video Modes

    Reset the B050-000 and immediately press the “ESC” key. On your screen a command prompt “=>” will be visible.

  • Page 38 5. Usage Local Keyboard: Used to change the language mapping of your browser machine running the Remote Console Applet. Normally, the applet determines the correct value automatically. However, depending on your particular JVM and your browser settings this is not always possible. A typical example is a Spanish localized system that uses a US- English keyboard mapping.
  • Page 39 5. Usage Figure 5-14. Remote Console Options: Encoding Compression • Color depth Sets the desired color depth. You may select between 8 or 16 bit for Video Optimized/compression level 0, or between 1 and 8 bit for compression level 1 to 9. The higher the color depth, the more video information has to be captured and to be transferred.
  • Page 40 “Video Optimized”. As a general result, the data rate is reduced (less bits per color). Furthermore, the B050-000 will not have to do any video compression. In total, this will lead to less transfer time of the motion picture.
  • Page 41 One single user is connected to the Remote Console of the B050-000. One or more users are connected to the Remote Console of the B050-000. Exclusive access is set for you. Any other user may not access the remote host via Remote Console unless you disable this option.

  • Page 52: Drive Redirection

    Drive Redirection Note: Driver redirect requires the B050-000 to be connected via the USB port to the PC or to a USB KVM. The Drive Redirection is another way to use a virtual disc drive on the remote computer. With Drive Redirection you do not have to use an image file but may work with a drive from your local computer on the remote machine.
  • Page 53 6. Menu Options Please note that Drive Redirection works on a level that is far below the operating system. That means that neither the local nor the remote operating system is aware that the drive is currently redirected. This may lead to inconsistent data as soon as one of the operating systems (either from the local machine, or from the remote host) is writing data on the device.
  • Page 54 Specify the parameters of the network connection (see Figure 6-12). Device: This is the address (either the DNS name or the IP address) of the B050-000 you would like to connect to. Port: This is the network port. By default, B050-000 uses the remote console port (#443) here. You may change this value if you have changed the remote console port in your B050-000's network settings.
  • Page 55 6. Menu Options Drive Selection Figure 6-13. Selecting the Desired Drive Select the drive you would like to redirect. All available devices (drive letters) are shown here. Please note that the whole drive is shared with the remote computer, not only one partition. If you have a hard disk with more than one partition all drive letters that belong to this disk will be redirected.
  • Page 56 6. Menu Options Write Support Figure 6-14. Selecting Write Support This feature may be enabled here. Write support means that the remote computer is allowed to write on your local drive. As you can imagine, this is very dangerous. If both the remote and the local system try to write data on the same device, it will certainly destroy the file system on the drive.
  • Page 57 6. Menu Options Device Authentication Figure 6-15. Device Authentication To use the Drive Redirection, you have to authenticate on the B050-000 using a valid username and password. Permission to change the virtual disc configuration is necessary. Navigation Buttons Connect/Disconnect: To establish the drive redirection, press the Connect button once.

    To guarantee an acceptable response time, we recommend not to exceed 25 users connected to the B050-000 at the same time. The memory space that is available on the B050-000 depends primarily on the configuration and the usage of the B050-000 (log file entries etc.).
  • Page 64 Allows you to adjust both compression rate and the color depth individually. Depending on the selected compression rate, the data stream between the B050-000 and the Remote Console will be compressed in order to save bandwidth. Since high compression rates are very time consuming, they should not be used while several users are accessing the B050-000 simultaneously.

  • Page 75: Security

    Force HTTPS: If this option is enabled, access to the web front-end is only possible using a HTTPS connection. The B050-000 will not listen on the HTTP port for incoming connections. In case you want to create your own SSL certificate that is used to identify the B050-000 refer to the Section called Certificate.

  • Page 76: Certificate

    However, it is possible to generate and install a new base64 x.509 certificate that is unique for a particular B050-000. In order to do that, the B050-000 is able to generate a new cryptographic key and the associated Certificate Signing Request (CSR) that needs to be certified by a certification authority (CA).
  • Page 77 After completing these three steps the B050-000 has its own certificate that is used for identifying the card to its clients. Warning: If you destroy the CSR on the B050-000, there is no way to get it back! In case you deleted it by mistake, you have to repeat the three steps as described above.
