Using the VNC Menu

One of the unique features of this product is the VNC menu system. Whenever you see

a window with a dark blue background and grey edges, this window has been inserted

into the VNC data stream so that it is effectively laid over the existing video. These

menus allow you to control the many features of the IP KVM switch without using the

web interface or a custom client.
Welcome Window

When you initially connect to the system, a Welcome Window will appear, indicating which

system you are controlling, what encryption algorithm was used and what key strength is

currently in effect. Click anywhere inside the window to clear it, or wait ten seconds.

Bribar Feature

Along the bottom of the VNC screen is a dark blue bar with various buttons known

as the bribar. Its purpose is to show a number of critical status values and to provide

shortcuts to commonly used features. Here is a snapshot of what it may look like. There

will be slight differences based on optional features and system configuration. Starting

from the left side of the Bribar, each feature and its function is outlined below.

Bandwidth: Indicates current average bandwidth coming out of the Server Remote

Control unit. The second number measures round trip time (RTT) of the connection

when it was first established.
Resync: Re-aligns the remote and local mouse points so they are on top of each other.
Redraw: Redraws the entire screen contents; occurs immediately.
PS/2: Resets the PS/2 keyboard and mouse emulation. Useful to recover failed mouse

and/or keyboard connections in PS/2 mode.
