Appendix 2 - VNC viewer connection options
When you are connecting to the
LINDY KVM IP using the VNC
viewer, a number of options are
available.
There are six tabbed pages of
options:

Colour/Encoding
Auto select
When ticked, this option will
examine the speed of your
connection to the LINDY KVM
IP and apply the most suitable
encoding method. This option
is suggested for the majority of
installations.
Preferred encoding
There are three manually selectable
encoding methods which are
accessible when the Auto select
option is unticked.
• ZRLE – This is a highly
compressed method that is
best suited to slow modem
connections.
• Hextile – This method offers
better performance than the ZRLE when used over a high speed network
because there is no need for the LINDY KVM IP to spend time highly
compressing the data.
• Raw – This is a primitive, uncompressed method that is mainly used for
technical support issues. You are recommended not to use this method.
IMPORTANT: If you make any changes to the options given here and wish to
retain them for successive connection sessions, you must save the changes.
To do this, change to the 'Defaults' tab and click the 'Save as defaults' button.
Colour level
This section allows you to select the most appropriate colour level for the speed
of the connection to the LINDY KVM IP. Where the connection speed is slow or
inconsistent there will be a necessary compromise between screen response and
colour depth.
• Full – This mode is suitable only for fast network connections and will pass
on the maximum colour depth being used by the host system.
• Medium ( colours) – This mode reduces the host system output
to a 256 colour mode and is more suitable for ISDN and fast modem
connections.
• Low ( colours) – This mode is suitable for slower modem connections
and reduces the host system output to 64 colours.
• Very low (8 colours) – This mode provides very rudimentary picture
quality and hardly any speed advantage over the 64 colour setting. You are
recommended not to use this mode.
