speed of the remote screen depending on the number of users working at the same time and
the bandwidth of the connection line (Modem, ISDN, DSL, LAN, etc.).
Automatic detection
The encoding and the compression level are determined automatically from the available
bandwidth and the current content of the video image.
Pre-configured
The pre-configured settings deliver the best result because of optimized adjustment of
compression and colour depth for the indicated network speed.
Manually
Allows adjustment of both compression rate and colour depth individually. Depending on the
selected compression rate the data stream between the KVM OVER IP SWITCH 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 when several users are accessing the KVM
OVER IP SWITCH simultaneously.
The standard colour depth is 16 bit (65536 colours). The other colour depths are intended for
slower network connections in order to allow a faster transmission of data. Therefore
compression level 0 (no compression) uses only 16 bit colour depth. At lower bandwidths only 4
bit (16 colours) and 2 bit (4 grey scales) are recommended for typical desktop interfaces. Photo-
like pictures have best results with 4 bit (16 grey scales). 1 Bit colour depth (black/white) should
only be used for extremely slow network connections.
Remote Console Type
Specifies, which Remote Console Viewer to use.
Default Java-VM
Uses the default Java Virtual Machine of your Browser. This may be the Sun JVM if it is
configured this way. Use of the Sun JVM may also be forced (see below).
Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plug-in
Instructs the web browser of your administration system to use Sun's JVM. The JVM in the
browser is used to run the code for the Remote Console window which is actually a Java
Applet. If you check this box for the first time on your administration system and the appropriate
Java plug-in is not already installed on your system, it will be downloaded and installed
automatically. The advantage of Sun's JVM is in providing a stable and identical Java Virtual
Machine across different platforms. The Remote Console software is optimized for Sun JVM
versions and offers wider range of functionality when run with JVM.
The KVM Java applet is issued and certified by LINDY. Therefore you have to install the LINDY
certificate in every computer that you want to use to access the KVM switch. The installation
process is described in section 4.1
Miscellaneous Remote Console Settings
Start in Monitor Mode Sets the initial value for the monitor mode. By default the
monitor mode is off. In case you switch it on, the Remote Console window will be
started in a read only mode.
Start in Exclusive Access Mode Enables the exclusive access mode
immediately at Remote Console start-up. This forces the Remote Consoles of all
29
other users to close. No one can open the Remote Console at the same time
again until this user disables the exclusive access or logs off.
Mouse hotkey
Allows the user to specify a hotkey combination which starts either the mouse synchronization
process if pressed in the Remote Console or is used to leave the single mouse mode.
Remote Console Button Keys
This allows simulating keystrokes on the remote system that cannot be generated locally. The
reason for this might be a missing key or the fact that the local operating system of the Remote
Console is unconditionally catching
Control+Alt+Delete in Windows and DOS, which is always caught, or Control+Backspace on
Linux for terminating the X-Server. The syntax to define a new Button Key is as follows:
[confirm] <keycode>[+|-[*]<keycode>]*
confirm requests confirmation by a dialog box before the key strokes will be sent to the remote
host.
keycode is the key to be sent. Multiple key codes can be joined with a plus, or a minus sign.
The plus sign builds key combinations; all keys will be pressed until a minus sign or the end of
the combination is encountered. In this case all pressed keys will be released in reversed
sequence. So the minus sign builds single, separate key presses and releases. The star inserts
a pause with duration of 100 milliseconds.
