Chat Frame Element Description
Title Bar Shows the IP address of the LARA you are connected to.
Chat Area Read-only text area showing the messages, which have been re-
ceived so far, inclusive your own messages sent to others. The
identity string of the sender precedes each message.
Identity Label Shows the identity string used to precede messages sent by this
Chat Frame. The first part of the identity string is the user
ID (‘thomas’ in the example) that has been used to log into
the client system, i.e. the system the browser runs on. The
second part, behind ‘@’, is the hostname of the client system
(‘ganesh.peppercon.de’ in the example). The last part in round
brackets is the user name that was used to log into LARA (‘super’
in the example).
Chat Line This is an editable text line, where a new message can be entered.
Once the Enter key is hit the message is broadcasted to every
other connected party. In case a connected user has not yet
opened the Chat Frame it will be opened automatically in order
to deliver the message.
Note:
Any message sent to the Chat will be broadcasted to ALL connected users, which are using
the Remote Console at the time the message was sent. There is no option to direct a message
to a particular user only.
The Chat has no message history. That means, messages will be received only after opening
the Remote Console. Messages that possibly have been sent among other users will be lost for
a user who opens up his Remote Console afterwards.
5.3.3. LARA On-Screen display (OSD)
LARA features an on-screen display (OSD) to setup the video options. The OSD is controlled via
the OSD panel (see Figure
5.6 on the next page), available in the Remote Console options menu.
This panel offers keys to show/hide or navigate the OSD. It is also possible to use ENTER and
the cursor keys for navigation, but the panel must have input focus, else the keypresses will control
