Host Interface
In general, the USB interface is preferred because it provides superior
mouse tracking. The
Host Interface
drop-down provides three selections.
In the default mode,
Auto
, the Spider device attempts to determine whether
the attached computer supports a USB keyboard/mouse. If it does, that
interface gets activated. If it does not, the Spider device falls back to PS/2. If
you have a USB model Spider device and the attached computer does not
support USB, the system will be view only.
On the PS/2 model Spider device, select
PS/2
to force the PS/2 interface or
USB
to require USB. This selection has no effect on the USB model Spider
device.
Force USB Full Speed
Mode
Some older systems do not support USB high-speed mode and may not
recognize the keyboard/mouse. Enable this option for Spider device to
negotiate in USB full speed mode.
