SERVSWITCH™ ULTRA REMOTE
Server Windowing
You can choose the size of the window that you work with. This allows you to either
park a scaled image of your server in the corner of your screen or work with it at
full resolution. By resizing the Ultra Remote Viewer’s window, you automatically
communicate to the Ultra Remote, which then sends scaled video to fit your
resized window. When using a reduced window, less data is sent, improving
performance and reducing demands on network bandwidth. If you wish, you can
run in scaled, scrolled, or full-screen modes.
Security
The ServSwitch Ultra Remote is designed with the highest consideration for
security. For maximum security, the connection is encrypted with Blowfish or triple
DES. You can also program a timeout that will automatically terminate the session
when no keyboard or mouse activity is detected for a given length of time.
Quad-Screen Mode
You can view four servers at one time with the quad-screen mode. This integrated
high-performance feature is easy to set up and use. Simply select the servers that
you want to be viewed and enter quad-screen mode. All servers are viewed in real
time and are automatically scaled to fit their quadrant of the screen.
Color Modes and Resolution
The Ultra Remote hardware supports full 16-bit color. It can be programmed to
use black and white, grayscale, or color. This feature is excellent for slow links or
for reducing demands on network bandwidth.
Mouse Cursors
Competing products suffer from an annoying presence of two mouse cursors and
the requirement to synchronize the two cursors. The Ultra Remote uses one mouse
cursor in a very intuitive style to access the remote connection. Switching between
the remote servers and the applications on your own PC is smooth and effortless.
Video Resolution
Competing products make you adjust complicated controls to get the optimum
video quality. The Ultra Remote does it all automatically. It also supports up to
1280 x 1024 resolution at refresh rates up to 76 Hz.
Flash Memory
To support the latest devices and provide continuing features and support, the
ServSwitch Ultra Remote contains flash memory. We might occasionally release
firmware upgrades that you will be able to load into the Ultra Remote to add new
features or support new equipment. If and when we release such upgrades, our
technical-support technicians will be able to tell you how to download them; install
them with the “Flash Update” command (see
Section 9.1 ).
