Page 25: Initial Confi Guration Via Serial Console
Chapter 5 5.1 Initial Confi guration 5.1.2 Initial configuration via serial console Using a serial terminal, the IP-KVM switch has a serial line interface (host side). This connector is compliant with the RS 232 serial line standard. The serial line has to be configured with the parameters given in the following table. -
Page 26: Remote Mouse Settings
Chapter 5 5.1 Initial Confi guration 5.1.3.2 Remote Mouse Settings A common problem with KVM devices is the synchronization between the local and remote mouse cursors. The IP-KVM switch addresses this situation with an intelligent synchronization algorithm. There are two mouse modes available on the IP-KVM switch. -
Page 27: Single And Double Mouse Mode
Chapter 5 5.1 Initial Confi guration Special Mouse Driver There are mouse drivers which influence the synchronization process and lead to desynchronized mouse pointers. If this happens, make sure you do not use a special vendor-specific mouse driver on your host system. Windows XP Mouse Settings Windows XP knows a setting named “improve mouse acceleration”, which has to be deactivated. -
Page 28: Prerequisites

Page 31: The Remote Console
Chapter 6 6.1 Usage 6.3 The Remote Console General description The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system that IP-KVM switch controls. The Remote Console window is a Java Applet that tries to establish its own TCP connection to the IP-KVM switch. -
Page 32: Main Window
Chapter 6 6.1 Usage 6.4 Main Window Starting the Remote Console opens an additional window. It displays the screen content of your host system. The Remote Console will behave exactly in the same way as if you were sitting directly in front of the screen of your remote system. - Page 33 Chapter 6 6.1 Usage Single/Double mouse mode Switches between the Single Mouse Mode (where only the remote mouse pointer is visible) and the Double Mouse Mode (where remote and local mouse pointers are visible and need to be synchronized). Single mouse mode is only available if using SUN JVM 1.3 or higher. Options To open the Options menu, click on the button “Options”.
- Page 34 Chapter 6 6.1 Usage • Scaling Allow you to scale down the Remote Console.
