5.4.3. Keyboard/Mouse & Video Settings
LARA supports different keyboard and mouse models. The panel shown in Figure 5.17 is used to
adjust those settings as well as some other ones. Their meaning is listed in Table 5.6 :
Figure 5.17.: Keyboard Mouse & Video settings
Table 5.6.: Keyboard Mouse & Video Settings description
Control Description
Keyboard Model Selects the keyboard model used on the remote host system.
Mouse Model Selects the mouse model that is used on the remote system. A
wrongly selected mouse model may result in strange mouse ef-
fects.
Force emergency (direct)
mouse mode If the mouse synchronization (see Section 5.3.4 on page 28 ) failed
it is possible to force a direct translation of mouse movements
between the local and the remote pointer, so you can still move
the mouse even if its not entirely synchronous. To use the mouse
synchronization process again, turn off this option.
Enable local video port This options decides if the video output on the front panel of
LARA is active and bypassing the incoming signal from the host
system.
Reset mouse/keyboard
emulation
This option will reset the LARA keyboard and mouse emulation
for the host system.
Use it if the keyboard or mouse seems
to react irrationally. Its just like pulling out the keyboard and
mouse connectors and plugging them in again.
5.4.4. KVM Settings
The LARA KVM settings (Figure 5.18 on the next page) allow to control a KVM switch located
between LARA and the hosts. Have a look at Section 3.1 on page 9 for a connection example.
It is possible to select the number of ports the connected KVM uses. Each port may get a name
assigned. In order to provide KVM port switching through LARA, key combinations have to be
defined for the ports.
