Performance Notes

• All images over the PPP connection will be gray scale to conserve • bandwidth. If

other users are connected while a PPP session is active, their screens will be in gray

scale as well. When PPP in inactive, color is automatically re-enabled.

• Some areas of the screen may not be updated as frequently as • others, and

animations or other auto-updating areas of the screen may appear out-of-focus

or “blocky” as a result. Since the area around the mouse pointer is refreshed most

frequently, hold the pointer over an area to improve its clarity.

• It may be beneficial to minimize any unnecessary icons, • backgrounds, or other

clutter on the host computer’s desktop to make the dial-up connection as efficient

as possible.

• When the modem feature is enabled, you can use a “line modem” • connection

on the serial port using a serial cable to begin a PPP session. If you are using the

DTE Serial port on the front panel, use a null modem serial cable. If you have

disconnected the modem and are using the DCE Serial port on the rear panel for

the PPP connection, use a straight through serial cable. When the modem is not

actively connected, you can begin a PPP session at up to 460 kbps. To hang up and

re-connect the modem, end the PPP session.

• If you need to configure the device over a serial connection while the • modem option

is enabled, connect a serial cable (see immediately above for instructions on what

type of cable to use for the port you are accessing on the IP KVM switch) and begin

a terminal session following the instructions under Terminal Configuration Using a

Serial Cable in this manual. Once connected, you will see the following message:

Expecting a modem, if human, type admin password (Or start PPP) Type the password

for user admin and press Enter. The password will not appear on the screen. The

configuration menu will appear. Make the changes you wish or press ‘q’ and Enter to

exit and leave the modem connection active.
