Chapter 4. Configuration
Remote Mouse Settings
A common problem with KVM devices is the synchronization between the local and
remote mouse cursors. The V-IP addresses this situation with an intelligent synchro-
nization algorithm. There are three mouse modes available on the V-IP .
Auto Mouse Speed
The automatic mouse speed mode tries to detect the speed and acceleration set-
tings 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 lead to n pixel moves on the remote system. This
parameter n is adjustable with the scaling. It should be noted that this works
only when mouse acceleration is turned off on the remote system.
Single/Double Mouse Mode
This mode is described in the Section called Single and Double Mouse Mode .
Auto Mouse Speed and Mouse Synchronization
The automatic mouse speed mode performs the speed detection during mouse syn-
chronization. Whenever the mouse does not move correctly, there are two ways for
re-synchronizing local and remote mouse:
Fast Sync
The fast synchronization is used to correct a temporary but fixed skew. Choose
the option from the Remote Console options menu. If defined you may also press
the mouse synchronization hotkey sequence (see the Section called Remote Con-
sole Control Bar in Chapter 5 for details).
Intelligent Sync
If the fast sync does not work or the mouse settings have been changed on the
host system, use the intelligent resynchronization. This method takes more time
than the fast one and can be accessed with the appropriate item in the Remote
Console option menu. The intelligent synchronization requires a correctly ad-
justed picture. Use the auto adjustment function or the manual correction in the
Video Settings panel to setup the picture. The Sync mouse button on top of the
Remote Console can behave differently, depending on the current state of mouse
synchronization. Usually pressing this button leads to a fast sync, except in situ-
ations where the video mode changed recently. See also the Section called Remote
Console Control Bar in Chapter 5 .
Note: At first start, if the local mouse pointer is not synchronized with the remote mouse
pointer, press the Auto Adjust Button once.
Host System Mouse Settings
The host’s operating system knows various settings for the mouse driver.
