Adjusting Mouse Settings on Target Devices

Before a computer connected to the AutoView 3008/3016 switch can be used for remote user
control, you must set the target mouse speed and turn off acceleration. For machines running
Microsoft Windows
®
To ensure that the local mouse movement and remote cursor display remain in sync, mouse
acceleration must be set to "none" for all user accounts accessing a remote system through a KVM
switch. Mouse acceleration must also be set to "none" on every remote system. Special cursors
should not be used and cursor visibility options such as pointer trails,
animations, cursor shadowing and cursor hiding, should also be turned off. For more information,
see the Mouse and Pointer Settings Technical Bulletin available at www.avocent.com.

Connecting to the OBWI Through a Firewall
