Console window, which is actually a Java Applet. If you check this box for the
first time on your administration system and the appropriate Java plug-in is not
already installed on your system, it will be downloaded and installed
automatically. However, in order to make the installation possible, you still
need to answer the according dialogs with “yes” . The download volume is
around 11 Mbytes. The advantage of downloading Sun's JVM lays in providing
a stable and identical Java Virtual Machine across different platforms. The
Remote Console software is optimized for this JVM versions and offers wider
range of functionality when run in SUN's JVM. Please make sure that you are
installing Sun JVM 1.4.2 or above to your client system.
Miscellaneous Remote Console Settings
Start in Monitor Mode
Sets the initial value for the monitor mode. By default the monitor mode is off.
In case you switch it on, the Remote Console window will be started in a read
only mode.
Start in Exclusive Access Mode
Enables the exclusive access mode immediately at Remote Console startup.
This forces the Remote Consoles of all other users to close. No one can open
the Remote Console at the same time again until this user disables the
exclusive access or logs off.
Mouse hotkey
Allows to specify a hotkey combination which starts either the mouse
synchronization process if pressed in the Remote Console, or is used to leave the
single mouse mode.
Remote Console Button Keys
Button Keys allow simulating keystrokes on the remote system that cannot be
generated locally. The reason for this might be a missing key or the fact, that the
local operating system of the Remote Console is unconditionally catching this
keystroke already. Typical examples are “Alt+Delete” on Windows and
DOS, what is always caught, or “Backspace” on Unix or Unix-like OS for
terminating the X-Server. The syntax to define a new Button Key is as follows:
[confirm] <keycode>[+|-[*]<keycode>]*
“confirm” requests confirmation by a dialog box before the key strokes will be sent
to the remote host.
“keycode” is the key to be sent. Multiple key codes can be concatenated with a
plus, or a minus sign. The plus sign builds key combinations, all keys will be
pressed until a minus sign or the end of the combination is encountered. In this
case all pressed keys should be released in reversed sequence. The minus sign
builds single, separate key presses and releases. The star inserts a pause with
duration of 100 milliseconds.
