Mouse handling - The submenu for mouse handling offers 3 options for
synchronizing the host and the client mouse pointer - explained on pages 14 and
16. The option for 'Fast Sync' shows the hotkey if you defined one using the
Remote Console Settings.
Local cursor - Choose a cursor shape for the host mouse. The number of
available shapes depends on the Java Virtual Machine, only version 1.2 or higher
offers the full list.
Chat Window - Opens the Chat window
Video Settings – To adjust the video settings.
Refresh video - Refreshes the video
Soft Keyboard - Opens the soft-keyboard menu:
•
Click Show. The soft-keyboard appears.
•
Click Layout. Choose layout
•
Click Mapping. Choose the desired language and country
Local Keyboard - Used to change the language mapping of your browser
machine running the Remote Console Applet. Normally the Applet determines the
correct value automatically. However, depending on your particular JVM and
your browser machine settings this is not always possible. A typical example is a
German localized system that uses a US-English keyboard mapping. In this case
you have to change the Local Keyboard setting manually to the right language.
KVM keys – Each key represents a port. See page 26 to define hotkeys to switch
to each port. The keys also appear in the toolbar.
Hotkeys - Button Keys simulate keystrokes on the remote system that cannot be
generated locally. To define hotkeys see page 18.
Encoding – Choose the desired options from the Compression and Color Depth
drop down menus.
Information bar - Shows the console and connection state and remote screen
size. The value in round brackets describes the connection to the remote system:
Norm stands for a standard connection without encryption; SSL stands for a
secured connection. Double click the bar to see a history of all the status
information.
