(continued)

Compose Panel

Type your message into this panel and then click the Send button or

press the [Enter] key to post the message to the message board.

Note:

You must select the user that you want to communicate with

from the user list. To send a message to all users, simply click

All

Users

in the user list.

Message Display Panel

Messages that users post to the board, as well as system messages,
display in this panel. If you disable chat, messages that get posted do
not appear.

Ctrl – Alt – Delete

– Click this icon to send the [Ctrl, Alt,

Delete] command to the remote computer.

Set to Grayscale

– Click this icon to display the remote video

in black and white. On slower networks, displaying the remote
video in black and white can help improve keyboard and mouse

response time.

Zoom

– Click this icon to zoom in on the remote display. You

can choose to display the screen at 100%, 75%, 50% or 25%.
Checking the 1:1 checkbox will keep the screen contents sized
in a 1:1 ratio, regardless of whether you choose to display the

remote session at 100%, 75%, 50% or 25%.

On-Screen Keyboard

– The B020-Series KVM switch features

an on-screen keyboard, available in multiple languages, with all
of the standard keyboard keys for each language. Click this icon
to display the on-screen keyboard.

• To switch to a different language keyboard, open the drop-down list

in the upper-right of the on-screen keyboard and select the desired

language.

• To expand the keyboard to include the number pad, click on the

arrow icon to the right of the language drop-down menu.

Mouse Pointer

– Click to choose how the local and remote

mouse pointers are displayed. You can choose to display

Dual

mouse pointers,

Crosshairs

mouse pointers, the local mouse

pointer as a tiny dot (not available via Java), or only the remote
mouse pointer.

Dual

mouse pointers display both local and

remote mice as arrows.

Crosshairs

mouse pointers display the

local mouse as a cross, and the remote mouse pointer as an
arrow. When displaying the local mouse pointer as a tiny dot,
the remote mouse pointer will be displayed as an arrow.

Mouse Sync Mode

– Click to toggle between automatic and

manual mouse sync modes. When set to automatic, a green

checkmark appears on the icon. When set to manual, a red x
appears on the icon.

Note:

This icon is only active on computers that are connected to

the KVM using a USB SIU. The auto sync functionality only supports
Windows and Mac (G4 and higher), and the adapter attribute OS

setting must be set to Windows or Mac. (See Port Property section
under

Port Configuration

OSD Operation

for details on the

adapter attribute OS setting.)

Mac and Linux Considerations

A second Mac auto sync setting is available for Mac OS X 10.4.11

and higher. If you find that enabling automatic mouse sync per the
instructions above does not provide satisfactory results, right-click the
mouse in the black text area of the control panel, highlight the Mouse

Sync Mode option and select Automatic for MAC 2.
Although Linux does not support automatic mouse sync mode, there

is an additional setting in the Mouse Sync Mode drop-down menu for
Redhat AS3.0 systems. If you are having difficulty synchronizing the
local and remote mice, try right-clicking the mouse in the black text

area of the control panel, highlight the Mouse Sync Mode option and
select Automatic for Redhat AS3.0.

Manual Mouse Synchronization

If the local mouse pointer goes out of sync with the remote system’s
mouse pointer, there are a number of methods to bring them back

into sync.
Before trying any mouse synchronization procedures, it is always a

good idea to ensure that you go to your

Mouse Properties Settings

and set them according to the instructions that follow. The

Mouse

Properties Settings

should be set on the computers attached to the

B020-Series KVM Switch, not the computer you are using to access
it.
