6. KVM Operation
User Macros
The User Macros page allows you to add macros to the KVM switch
that can be performed on any of the connected computers using the
Macro List feature of the control panel. (See Macro List section under
Control Panel in Remote Session Operation for details.) By default,
the User Macros page is displayed when the Hotkeys / Macros icon
is clicked on. To display the page when it isn't selected, click on the
User Macros button at the top of the Hotkeys / Macros screen.
To create a macro, follow the steps below.
1. Click the Add button on the right side of the screen.
2. In the name field that appears, key in a name for the macro you
are adding.
3. With the new macro highlighted, click the Record button on the
right side of the screen. Recording will begin and the following
panel will be displayed in the upper-left corner of the remote
screen.
4. Enter in the macro hotkey sequence and then click the Done
button. You will be returned to the User Macros screen, with your
macro name and hotkey combination added to the list. Repeat
this procedure for any additional macros you wish to create.
Note: Clicking the Pause button will pause/unpause the recording
of the hotkey sequence. Clicking the Cancel button will cancel the
recording of the hotkey sequence. Clicking the Show button will
display the hotkeys as they are entered.
Video Settings – The Video Settings screen allows you to
adjust the placement and picture quality of the remote screen.
The quality of the image display has a direct affect on the
keyboard and mouse response time. Higher quality video
results in more information being transferred over the network,
which can cause slow keyboard and mouse response time in
slower networks. Click this icon to open the Video Settings
screen.

The table below describes the contents of the Video Settings screen:
Setting Description
Screen Position Adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the screen
using the Screen Position arrows.
Auto Sync Click this button to automatically detect the vertical and
horizontal position settings of the remote screen. If the lo-
cal and remote mouse pointers are not synced, performing
this function will normally bring them back into alignment.
If Auto Sync fails to align the screen properly, use the
Screen Position arrows to make manual adjustments.
RGB Move the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) slider bars to adjust
the corresponding color component of the video image.
Check the Set to Grayscale checkbox to display the video
of the remote computer in black and white. If the remote
keyboard and mouse response time is slow or choppy,
checking the Set to Grayscale option can speed them up.
Gamma This section allows you to adjust the video display's
gamma level. This function is discussed in detail in the
Gamma Adjustment section following this table.
Performance Move the slide bar to adjust the video quality based on
your network speed. Higher quality video results in more
information being transferred over the network, which can
cause slow keyboard and mouse response times. Adjust
accordingly to your network speeds.
Color Depth This setting adjusts this amount of color information being
Control sent over the network. To enable this setting, check the
Enabled check box. A higher setting will provide more
color, which may slow down keyboard and mouse response
time. A lower setting may improve keyboard and mouse
response times.
Video Quality Drag the slider bar to adjust the overall quality of the video
of the remote computer. On slower networks, lowering
the video quality can help improve keyboard and mouse
response time.
Enable Refresh The remote screen can be set to be redrawn every 1 to
99 seconds, eliminating unwanted artifacts that would
otherwise remain on the screen. Click the Enable Refresh
checkbox to activate this feature, and then enter in the
desired refresh rate.
Transparency Adjusts the transparency of the toolbars displayed by the
Windows and Java clients. Move the slider bar until the
transparency is set to the desired level.
Detect This setting governs allowable pixel changes. A high setting
Tolerance limits changes, resulting in lower video quality and less
data transfer. A low setting allows more changes, resulting
in higher video quality and more data transfer. On slower
networks, a high detect tolerance setting can help improve
keyboard and mouse response time.
