Performance mode
You can choose fixed or adaptive—these are explained below.
Fixed mode
Fixed mode allows you to select the high, medium, or low bandwidth option. For example, in a LAN environment, it is best to set
the bandwidth setting on High. For VPN and Internet environments, you may want to alter the settings to increase
responsiveness.
Bandwidth—Choose from the following options:
• High—For optimal performance when working on a LAN, select High. This gives a low compression and high colors (16-bit).
• Medium—Select medium for medium compression and 256 colors. Medium is recommended when using a standard Internet
connection.
• Low—Select low for low compression and 16 colors.
Adaptive mode
Adaptive mode automatically adapts to the best compression and colors according to the network conditions.
Click “OK.” The chosen settings take effect, and the screen of the last accessed target server appears.
