IP auto-configuration
With this option, you can specify whether the KVM IP Console Module should get its
network settings from a DHCP or BOOTP server. For DHCP, enter "dhcp", and for
BOOTP enter "bootp". If you do not specify any of these, the IP auto-configuration is
disabled and subsequently you will be asked for the following network settings.
IP address
The IP address the KVM IP Console Module. This option is only available if IP
auto-configuration is disabled.
Net mask
The net mask of the connected IP subnet. This option is only available if IP
auto-configuration is disabled.
Gateway address
The IP address of the default router for the connected IP subnet. If you do not have
a default router, enter 0.0.0.0. This option is only available if IP auto-configuration is
disabled.
4.2 Keyboard, Mouse, and Video configuration
Between the KVM IP Console Module and the host, there are two interfaces available
for transmitting keyboard and mouse data: USB and PS/2. The correct operation of
the remote mouse depends on several settings which will be discussed in the
following subsections.
4.2.1 KVM IP Console Module keyboard settings
The KVM IP Console Module settings for the host's keyboard type have to be corrected
in order to make the remote keyboard work properly. Check the settings in the KVM IP
Console Module Web front-end. See section 6.5.2 for details.
4.2.2 Remote Mouse Settings
A common seen problem with KVM devices is the synchronization between the local
and remote mouse cursors. The KVM IP Console Module addresses this situation with
an intelligent synchronization algorithm. There are two mouse modes available on the
KVM IP Console Module:
Auto mouse speed
The automatic mouse speed mode tries to detect the speed and acceleration
settings of the host system automatically. See the section below for a more
detailed explanation.
Fixed mouse speed
This mode just translates the mouse movements from the Remote Console in a
way that one pixel move will result in n-pixel moves on the remote system. This
parameter n is adjustable with the scaling. Please note that this works only when
mouse acceleration is turned off on the remote system.
