The encoding and the compression level is determined automatically from the
available bandwidth and the current content of the video image.
Pre-configured
The pre-configured settings deliver the best result because of optimized
adjustment of compression and color depth for the indicated network speed.
Manually
Allows to adjust both compression rate and the color depth individually.
Depending on the selected compression rate the data stream between KVM-
over-IP Sever Management and the Remote Console will be compressed in
order to save bandwidth. Since high compression rates are very time
consuming, they should not be used while several users are accessing KVM-
over-IP Sever Management simultaneously.
The standard color depth is 16 Bit (65536 colors). The other color depths are
intended for slower network connections in order to allow a faster transmission
of data. Therefore compression level 0 (no compression) uses only 16 Bit color
depth. At lower bandwidths only 4 Bit (16 colors) and 2 Bit (4 gray scales) are
recommended for typical desktop interfaces. Photo-like pictures have best
results with 4 Bit (16 gray scales). 1 Bit color depth (black/white) should only be
used for extremely slow network connections.
Remote Console Type
Specifies which Remote Console Viewer to use.
Default Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
Uses the default JVM of your web browser. This may be the Microsoft JVM for
the Internet Explorer or the Sun JVM if it is configured this way. Use of the Sun
JVM may also be forced (see below).
Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plugin
Instructs the web browser of your administration system to use the JVM of Sun
Microsystems. The JVM in the browser is used to run the code for the Remote
Console window which is actually a Java Applet. If you check this box for the
first time on your administration system and the appropriate Java plug-in is not
yet installed on your system, it may be downloaded and installed automatically.
However, in order to make the installation possible, you still have to answer the
according dialogs with "yes". The download volume is around 11 Mbytes. The
advantage of downloading Sun's JVM is the usage of a stable and identical
JVM across different platforms. The Remote Console software is optimized for
this JVM version and offers a wider range of functionality when run in SUN's
JVM.
