Info
When selected, this option displays an information dialog showing the current logged on
users, the current host, its video mode and its mouse motion details.
Advanced mouse configuration
This dialog allows the mouse acceleration to be configured according to the operating
system in use and also permits manual fine tuning for situations where problems are
encountered with the Calibrate function.
For best results, choose the appropriate
Change motion:
entry to match the host in use.
The available Change Motion schemes are:
Constant, XFree86, Windows Pre-XP, Windows
XP, Windows XP SP2, OS/2, Solaris, Solaris 9
and
Mac OSX
. Most of these offer the Speed
setting as the only option, however, the Windows
Pre-Xp
and
XFree86
options contain
many other parameters.
When the
Absolute Mode
option is ticked in the main
Mouse Control
menu, this dialog
allows you to adjust the
Absolute Offset
scale:
Power switching
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.
An optional power switch is required to be connected to the AUX port of the ALIF 2112T
unit in order to control the mains power input into the associated computer. See also

switching configuration
.
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.
