Answer
Set the mouse parameter options to provide
users with the best mouse synchronization and
turn off screensavers and any power
management features that affect screen
display.
In the past, KVM-over-IP mouse
synchronization was a frustrating experience.
The Dominion KX III's Absolute Mouse
Synchronization provides for a tightly
synchronized mouse without requiring server
mouse setting changes on Windows and
®
Apple Mac servers. For other servers, the
Intelligent Mouse mode or the speedy, single
mouse mode can be used to avoid changing
the server mouse settings.
