– Clicking on the Mouse icon allows you to select the Mouse Settings mode being used, as well as to manually adjust settings related to
mouse synchronization. The following section describes the settings found via the Mouse icon and how to use them, as well as general tips
for mouse synchronization and improving keyboard/mouse response time.
To set the Mouse Settings mode:
1. Click on the icon in the remote session toolbar, and choose the Mouse Settings option. The Mouse Settings window appears.
2. By default, the Absolute Mouse Position (Microsoft Windows) mode is selected for Target Servers connected using a USB SIU. Relative
Mouse Position (OS-Specific) mode is the default for Target Servers connected using a PS/2 SIU. You can manually select among the
following:
• Absolute Mouse Position (Microsoft Windows) – Absolute Mouse Position (Microsoft Windows) mode should be used if the
Target Server's operating system is Windows ME or later. The Absolute Mouse Position (Microsoft Windows) function automatically
sends the mouse coordinates to the remote session, providing optimal synchronization. You do not need to manually configure any
mouse settings when Absolute Mouse Position is selected. Note: Absolute Mouse Position mode cannot be used for Target Servers
connected with a PS/2 SIU.
• Absolute Mouse Position (Linux) – Absolute Mouse Position (Linux) mode should be used if the Target Server uses a Linux
operating system, such as Ubuntu. The Absolute Mouse Position (Linux) function automatically sends the mouse coordinates to the
remote session, providing optimal synchronization. You do not need to manually configure any mouse settings when Absolute Mouse
Position is selected. Note: Absolute Mouse Position mode cannot be used for Target Servers connected with a PS/2 SIU.
• Relative Mouse Position, OS-Generic – Relative Mouse Position, OS-Generic mode should be used if the other mouse settings
modes are not performing satisfactorily. When this mode is in effect, the user must focus the mouse within the remote session
window by clicking inside of it. From then on the mouse remains captured, and any mouse movement will remain within the borders
of the remote session window. To exit out of this mode, press [Ctrl] + [Alt].
• Relative Mouse Position, OS-Specific – Relative Mouse Position, OS-Specific mode should be used when the Target Server is
running Linux operating systems other than Ubuntu, or Windows operating systems prior to ME. When selected, additional settings
are provided that allow you to manually configure the Mouse Settings according to your Target Server's OS (see the Relative Mouse
Position, OS-Specific Mode section in this manual for details on the available settings).
• Apple Macintosh Mouse – Apple Macintosh Mouse mode should be used if the Target Server is a Mac. The Apple Macintosh Mode
function automatically sends the mouse coordinates to the remote session, providing optimal synchronization. You do not need to
manually configure any mouse settings when this mode is selected. Note: Apple Macintosh Mouse mode cannot be used for Target
Servers connected with a PS2 SIU.
