Appendix G - Vnc Viewer Connection Options - ADDER AdderLink Infinity 2112T User Manual

APPeNdIX G - VNC viewer connection options

Note: If you are using a later version of VNC viewer than that provided with the product
originally, some menus may differ slightly from those shown here.
When you are connecting to the ALIF
2112T using the VNC viewer, a number of
options are available.
Click here to
access the options
There are four tabbed pages of options:
• Display
• Inputs
• Connection
• Expert
You can also reduce the four standard tabs to just one that contains only the most
commonly used options by clicking the Basic... button in the lower left corner. The
resulting page includes all of the Display items shown opposite plus the Connection
options shown below:
connection
View-only
When ticked, no control data (from keyboard or mouse) are sent to the ALIF 2112T.
Pass special keys directly to server
When ticked, 'special' keys (the Windows key, the Print Screen key, Alt+Tab, Alt+Escape
and Ctrl+Escape) are passed directly to the ALIF 2112T rather than being interpreted
locally.
Menu key
This feature allows you to select which function key is used to display the VNC viewer
options menu. The menu key is the only way to exit from the full screen viewer mode.
Note: If you make any changes to the options given here and wish to retain them for successive
connection sessions, ensure that the option 'Use these settings for all new connections' is ticked.
display
scaling
No scaling
No attempt is made to make the screen
image fit the viewer window. You may need
to scroll horizontally and/or vertically to
view all parts of the screen image.
scale to Window size
Adjusts the server screen image to suit the
size of the viewer window.
custom size
Adjusts the server screen image according
to the Width and Height settings in the
adjacent fields. A drop box to the right of
the fields allows you to define the image
size by percentage or by pixels, as required.
Preserve Aspect Ratio
When ticked, maintains a consistent
ratio between the horizontal and vertical
dimensions of the screen image.
Other options
Full screen mode
When ticked, opens the VNC Viewer in full screen mode.
Enable toolbar
When ticked, the VNC toolbar will be displayed whenever you hover your mouse near
the top centre of the VNC window.
Adapt to network speed
When ticked, VNC will automatically adjust the image quality to suit the connection
speed. When unticked, a slider allows you to choose the balance manually.
Always use best available colour quality (not in V5 viewers)
When ticked, the VNC Viewer will aim to maximize performance while still maintaining
a full color display (even on slower network connections) by affecting other aspects of
operation. For instance, by reducing the amount of information sent about the mouse
cursor position (which may make the mouse cursor movements appear jerky).
