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. In this case you have to change the Local Keyboard setting to the right l
anguage manually.
Hotkeys:
Opens a list of hotkeys previously defined. In order to send a registered command to the host system, choose the
appropriate entry. A confirmation dialog can be added that will be displayed before sending the selected command
to the remote host. Choose "OK" to perform the command on the remote host. For a detailed description see the
Section called Remote Console Button Keys in Chapter 6.
Encoding:
These options are used to adjust the encoding level in terms of compression and color depth. They are only
available if the "Transmission Encoding" is not determined automatically (see the Section called Transmission
Encoding in Chapter 6).
• Compression level
You may select a value between 1 and 9 for the desired compression level with level 1 enabling the fastest
compression and level 9 the best compression. The most suitable compression level should always be seen
as a compromise between the network bandwidth that is available on your video picture to be transferred,
and on the number of changes between two single video pictures. We recommend using a higher
compression level if the network bandwidth is low. The higher the compression level, the more time is
necessary to both pack or unpack the video data on either side of the connection. The compression quality
depends on the video picture itself, e.g. the number of the colors or the diversity of pixels. The lower the
compression quality, the more data have to be sent and the longer it may take to transfer the whole video
picture. If level 0 is chosen the video compression is disabled, completely. The option "Video Optimized"
has its advantages if transferring high-quality motion pictures. In this case the video compression is disabled,
completely and all video data is transferred via network as full-quality video snippets. Therefore, a high
amount of bandwidth is required to ensure the quality of the video picture.
