are accessing the remote console simultaneously.

The default color depth is 16 Bit (65536 colors). The other color depths are intended for slower
network connections since they require less bandwidth. 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-quality 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.

5.10.2 Remote Console Status Line

Status line

The status line shows both the console and the connection state. The size of the remote screen
is displayed as well. Figure 5-15 shows a Remote Console with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels.
The value in brackets describes the connection to the Remote Console. “Norm” indicates a
standard connection without encryption; “SSL” indicates a secure connection.

Furthermore, both the incoming (“In”) and the outgoing (“Out”) network traffic are visible in kb/s. If
compressed encoding is enabled, a value in brackets displays the compressed transfer rate.
