30 CHAPTER 5. USAGE
Table 5.4.: Decription of Remote Console Option Menu
Control Description
User select box This control will show the user ID for which the values are shown
and for which changes will take effect. You might change the
settings of other users in case you have the necessary access rights.
Button Keys Button Keys are meant for 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 ‘Control Alt Delete’ on Windows
and DOS, what is always caught or ‘Control Backspace’ on Linux
for terminating the X-Server. The syntax to define a new Button
Key is as follows:
[
conf irm ] < keycode > [+ < keycode > ]
∗
confirm requests confirmation by a dialog box before the key
strokes will be sent.
keycode is the key to be sent. Multiple key codes can be concate-
nated with a plus sign and will be sent one by one sequentially.
For a list of key codes and aliases LARA recognizes refer to Ap-
pendix
C on page 69 .
Mouse cursor synchro-
nization hotkey Allows to specify a hotkey combination which starts the mouse
synchronization process if pressed in the Remote Console (see
Section
5.3.4 on page 28 for more information). The key codes
are listed in Appendix C on page 69 .
Transmission Encoding The Transmission Encoding setting allows changing the image-
encoding algorithm that is used to transmit the video data to the
Remote Console window. Using those settings it is possible to op-
timize the speed of the remote screen depending on the number of
parallel users and the bandwidth of the connection line (Modem,
ISDN, DSL, LAN, etc.).
Normal: The Standard Encoding algorithm well suited for many
parallel users in a LAN environment. Typical applications gener-
ate traffic of up to 15 Kbytes/s.
Compressed: The data stream between LARA and the Remote
Console window will be additionally compressed to save band-
width. Choosing one of the rates between 1 (lowest) and 9 (high-
est) adjusts the compression rate. Typical applications generate
traffic between 5 Kbytes/s (compression rate 9) and 10 Kbytes/s
(compression rate 1). The compression encoding is well suited for
a Modem or ISDN environment. However, since the compression
takes processing time on LARA itself, this encoding shouldn’t be
used when many parallel users want to access LARA at the same
time.
Start in Monitor Mode Sets the initial value for the monitor mode. By default the mon-
itor mode is off. In case you switch it on, the Remote Console
window will be started in a read only mode
