Field Explanation
Port OS Specifies the operating system that the server on the connected
port is using. Choices are Win, Mac, Sun, and Other. The default
is Win.
OS Language Specifies the OS language being used by the server on the
connected port. Drop down the list to see the available choices.
The default is English US.
Cable Length Specifies the length of the Cat5e cable that is used to connect
the server to the port. Choices are Short (less than 10 m),
Medium (10–25 m), and Long (greater than 25 m). The default is
Short.
Note: Cable length can affect video quality. Generally speaking,
shorter cables offer better quality. This setting is designed to
compensate for longer or shorter cable lengths. You can
experiment to find the setting that best suits your connection.
Access Mode Defines how the port is to be accessed when multiple users have
logged on, as follows:
Exclusive: The first user to switch to the port has exclusive
control over the port. No other users can view the port. The
Timeout function does not apply to ports which have this
setting.
Occupy: The first user to switch to the port has control over the
port. However, additional users may view the port’s video
display. If the user who controls the port is inactive for longer
than the time set in the
Timeout box, port control is transferred
to the first user to move the mouse or strike the keyboard.
Share: Users simultaneously share control over the port. Input
from the users is placed in a queue and executed
chronologically. Under these circumstances, users can take
advantage of the
Message Board , which allows users to
communicate with each other regarding control of the keyboard
and mouse or keyboard, mouse, and video of a Share port (see
The Message Board , page 80).
