Setting mouse scaling

You can choose among three preconfigured mouse scaling options or set your

own custom scaling. The preconfigured settings are: Default (1:1), High (2:1)

or Low (1:2). In a 1:1 scaling ratio, every mouse movement on the desktop

window will send an equivalent mouse movement to the server. In a 2:1

scaling, the same mouse movement will send a 2X mouse movement. In a 1:2

scaling, the value will be 1/2X.

To set custom mouse scaling:

1.

Select Tools - Session Options. The Session Options dialog box appears.

2.

Click the Mouse tab.

3. Click

the

Custom radio button. The X and Y fi elds become enabled.

4. Type

a

mouse scaling value in the X and Y fi elds. For every mouse input,

the mouse movements are multiplied by the respective X and Y scaling
factors. Valid input ranges are 0.25 to 3.00.

Aligning the mouse or resetting the PS/2 connection

If you find that your mouse or keyboard no longer responds properly, you can align

the mouse to re-establish proper tracking or reset the PS/2 connection. Resetting

this connection causes the appliance to simulate a mouse and keyboard reconnect

at the server as if you had disconnected and then reconnected them. Alignment

causes the local cursor to be aligned with the cursor on the remote server.

NOTE: If the server does not support the ability to disconnect and reconnect the mouse (almost
all newer PCs do), then the mouse will become disabled and the server will have to be rebooted.
