Operation

Screen Information

Once the connection to the KN9000 has been accomplished, a window opens
on the Client’s monitor that exactly replicates the remote system’s video output
display captured by the KN9000. Local keystroke and mouse input is captured
and sent to the remote system.

A small OSD control panel opens at the lower right hand corner of the screen:

The panel consists of an icon bar at the top, with two text bars below it.
Initially, the text bars display the video resolution and IP address of the device
at the remote location. As the mouse pointer moves over the icons, the
information in the text bars changes to describe the icon’s function.

Icon

Function

Arrow

Click to exit the Windows Client control of the remote unit.

Space

the device at the remote location.

Lock LEDs

These LEDs show the Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock status
of the remote computer. Click on the icon to toggle the status.

To be sure, click on the LEDs to set them.
