DSView Installer/User Guide

Video scaling

At times, a user may connect to a computer running at a higher resolution than

that configured at the user’s remote system. When this occurs, the host system

will be displayed in a DSView window with scroll bars. The host resolution will

remain the same and users may scroll to the areas that fall outside of the frame.

If a user wishes to display the host system’s entire screen, it may be scaled to

fit within the current resolution with the scaling tools.

Mouse alignment

Because DSView cannot get constant feedback from the mouse, there are times

when the mouse on the DS appliance system may lose sync with the mouse on

the host system. When this occurs, users may resync the mouse by clicking on

the Mouse Align button. In most cases, this will correct the problem.

Updating Firmware

The firmware on attached DS appliances may be updated using File - Update

Firmware. All DS appliances of the same model type may be updated at the

same time. To update a different DS appliance model, you will need to perform

the following process again when the current model update is completed.

NOTE: When updating the CPS810 or CPS1610 appliances, application image updates must
be performed prior to boot image updates.
