Appendix 4 - Browser viewer options

When you are connecting to
the LINDY KVM IP using a Web
browser, a number of options
are available.
Click here to
access the options
There are four options pages:

Encoding and colour level

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.
Colour level
The colour level is fixed at Medium (256 colours) for almost all browsers.
