Remote Console Type
Specifies, which Remote Console Viewer to use.
Default Java-VM
Uses the default Java Virtual Machine of your 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 Plug-in
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 already installed on your
system, it will be downloaded and installed automatically. However, in order to make the
installation possible, you still need to answer the according dialogs with "yes".
The download volume is around 11 Mbytes. The advantage of downloading Sun's JVM
lays in providing a stable and identical Java Virtual Machine across different platforms.
The Remote Console software is optimized for these JVM versions and offers wider
range of functionality when run in SUN's JVM. Please make sure that you are installing
Sun JVM v1.5 or above to your client system.
Miscellaneous Remote Console Settings
Start in Monitor Mode
Sets the initial value for the monitor mode. By default the monitor mode is off. In case
you switch it on, the Remote Console window will be started in a read only mode.
Start in Exclusive Access Mode
Enables the exclusive access mode immediately at Remote Console startup. This
forces the Remote Consoles of all other users to close. No one can open the Remote
Console at the same time again until this user disables the exclusive access or logs off.
Mouse hotkey
Allows specifying a hotkey combination which starts either the mouse synchronization
process if pressed in the Remote Console, or is used to leave the single mouse mode.
Remote Console Button Keys
Button Keys allow simulating keystrokes on the remote system that cannot be
generated locally. The reason for this might be a missing key or the fact, that the local
operating system of the Remote Console is unconditionally catching this keystroke
already. Typical examples are "Control+Alt+Delete" on Windows and DOS, what is
always caught, or "Control+Backspace" on Unix or Unix-like OS for terminating the
X-Server. The syntax to define a new Button Key is as follows:
[confirm] <keycode>[+|-[*]<keycode>]* "confirm" requests confirmation by a dialog box
before the key strokes will be sent to the remote host.
"keycode" is the key to be sent. Multiple key codes can be concatenated with a plus, or
a minus sign. The plus sign builds key combinations, all keys will be pressed until a
minus sign or the end of the combination is encountered. In this case all pressed keys
should be released in reversed sequence. The minus sign builds single, separate key
presses and releases. The star inserts a pause with duration of 100 milliseconds.
