Access mode - shared/private
Up.to.five.users.can.be.simultaneously.logged-on.(four.global.users.plus.one.
local.or.remote.user).and.during.normal.operation,.all.are.able.to.see.the.same.
view.of.the.currently.selected.host..If.you.need.to.perform.a.sensitive.task.
that.should.not.be.viewed.by.other.users,.you.can.change.the.access.mode.to.
Private..This.action.blanks.the.viewer.window.for.all.other.logged.on.users.
Note: For the courtesy of other users, this mode should be used sparingly. The
admin user has the ability to overrule the private setting.
To change the access mode
1. Click.one.of.the.arrow.buttons.adjacent.to.the.
Shared/Private.indicator....
Power switching (via viewer)
When.configured.(and.where.you.have.access.rights).this.option.allows.you.to.
control.the.mains.power.input.to.the.currently.selected.host.computer.
Note: This option is generally used to power cycle remote systems that have
failed to respond. Before switching a system off, ensure that all attempts have
first been made to power it down through normal means.
To switch a system on or off
1. Use.the.Hosts.button.to.select.the.required.computer.
2. Click.the.Power.button.and.then.select.the.Switch.on.
or.Switch.off.option,.as.appropriate.
Auto calibrate
When.you.visit.a.host.computer.for.the.very.first.time,.your.viewer.needs.to.
determine.the.optimum.video.and.mouse.settings.for.that.particular.computer..
The.button.will.remind.you.to.click.it.by.flashing.red.when.a.new.computer.
screen.is.encountered..Performing.this.step.is.important.because.it.can.help.
to.decrease.unnecessary.video.information.being.sent.across.the.link,.thus.
improving.overall.performance.
Once.this.has.been.done,.providing.you.use.the.‘Hosts’.button.to.switch.
between.host.computers,.the.video.settings.for.each.machine.will.be.re-used.
Note: When performing an auto calibration, ensure that the screen image
is static (no moving images) and also try to remove any on-screen displays
generated by KVM switches (such as host names or menus). This is because
they can affect the calibration process and result in a lower overall performance
level. For mouse calibration, ensure that there are no application windows
located around the upper left corner of the screen. This is because as the mouse
calibration takes place, the cursor may change (to match the application as it
skims across the window) and this may confuse the calculation. Also ensure that
the host computer does not have the mouse cursor trails option enabled.
To auto calibrate the screen and/or mouse
1. Use.the.Hosts.button.to.select.the.required.computer.
2. Click.the. .button.to.display.the.
Calibrate.options.dialog:
3. Click.the.required.action.
. A.progress.indicator.will.be.
displayed.while.the.necessary.
calculations.are.made..
. Upon.completion.
an.information.
dialog.will.
explain.the.
results:...
Re-synchronise mouse .
If.you.find.that.your.local.mouse.pointer.and.that.of.the.host.are.not.correctly.
synchronised,.use.this.feature.to.re-align.their.movements..This.operation.is.also.
selectable.from.the.Controls.menu.
To re-synchronise the mouse
1. Use.the.Hosts.button.to.select.the.required.computer.
2. Click.the. .button.and.then.click.OK.in.the.subsequent.pop-up.message.
Note: If you find that this doesn’t work, you may need to perform a mouse
calibration again.
