IP auto-configuration
With this option, you can specify whether the GFC IPM switch should get its network
settings from a DHCP or BOOTP server. For DHCP, enter “dhcp”, and for BOOTP
enter “bootp”. If you do not specify any of these, the IP auto-configuration is
disabled and subsequently you will be asked for the following network settings.
IP address
The IP address the GFC IPM switch. This option is only available if IP
auto-configuration is disabled.
Net mask
The net mask of the connected IP subnet. This option is only available if IP
auto-configuration is disabled.
Gateway address
The IP address of the default router for the connected IP subnet. If you do not have
a default router, enter 0.0.0.0. This option is only available if IP auto-configuration is
disabled.
4.2 Keyboard, Mouse and Video configuration
Between the GFC IPM switch and the host, there are two interfaces available for
transmitting keyboard and mouse data: USB and PS/2. The correct operation of the
remote mouse depends on several settings which will be discussed in the following
subsections.
4.2.1 GFC IPM switch keyboard settings
The GFC IPM switch settings for the host's keyboard type have to be corrected in order
to make the remote keyboard work properly. Check the settings in the GFC IPM switch
Web front-end. See section 6.5.2 for details.
4.2.2 Remote Mouse Settings
A common seen problem with KVM devices is the synchronization between the local
and remote mouse cursors. The GFC IPM switch addresses this situation with an
intelligent synchronization algorithm. There are two mouse modes available on the
GFC IPM switch:
Auto mouse speed
The automatic mouse speed mode tries to detect the speed and acceleration
settings of the host system automatically. See the section below for a more
detailed explanation.
Fixed mouse speed
This mode just translates the mouse movements from the Remote Console in a
way that one pixel move will result in n-pixel moves on the remote system. This
