User Manual

The Toolbar

The

Toolbar

at the bottom of the screen is a Java applet that gives you control over the KVM operations. Going

from left to right on the toolbar, its functions are as follows:

Video:

Clicking the first button brings up the

Video Settings

dialog box:

This is similar to the

Adjust Video

feature of the Windows Client. See p. 37 for details about its use.

Note:

We recommend that you perform an Autosync right after you connect for improved mouse
synchronization.

Keypad:

Clicking the second button brings up the

Keypad

. Since some locally input keyboard

combinations can not be captured and sent to the CPU IP ACCESS SWITCH, the
Keypad provides a one-click implementation of their actions on the remote system.
