Video quality and speed
Using this option it is possible to tune the video system of PS/2 KVM over IP switch to either
maximize picture quality or speed. When set to "best quality" the picture looks clean but the
video update speed won't be as fast as possible. If responsiveness is more important to you
than achieving the best quality, set the option to 'high speed'. In this mode, artifacts will
appear. Please note, that the difference is only clearly visible when using fast network links
and the normal compression for the Remote Console. This option is not available on all
hardware versions of PS/2 KVM over IP switch
5.4.4 User Specific Settings
The following settings are user specific. That means, the super user can customize these
Settings for every users separately. Changing the settings for one user does not affect the
settings for others.
. User select box
This control will show the user ID for which the values are shown and for which changes will
take effect. You might change the settings of other users in case you have the necessary
access rights.
5.4.5 Remote Console Type
Specifies, which Remote Console Viewer use.
– Default Java-VM
Use the default Java Virtual Machine of your Browser. This may be the Microsoft JVM for the
Internet Explorer or 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 the JVM (Java Virtual Machine)
of Sun Microsystems. 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. However, in order to make the installation
possible, you still need to answer the according dialogs with YES. The download volume is
around 11 Mbytes. The advantage of downloading Sun's JVM lays in providing a stable and
identical Java Virtual Machine across different platforms. The Remote Console software is
optimized for this JVM versions and offers wider range of functionality when run in SUN's JVM.
(Hint: If you are connected over a slow connection to the Internet you can also pre-install the
JVM on your administration machine. The software is available on the CD that is delivered
along with PS/2 KVM over IP switch.)
5.4.6 Mouse hotkey
Allows to specify a hotkey combination which starts either the mouse synchronization process if
pressed in the Remote Console (see Section 5.4.2 for more information) or is used to leave the
single mouse mode. The key codes are listed in Appendix B.
5.4.7 Button Keys
Button Keys are meant for 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 this keystroke already. Typical examples are
'Control Alt Delete' on Windows and DOS, what is always caught or 'Control Backspace' on
Single port PS2 KVM over IP
