3. Conducting a Remote Session

3.2.6 Mouse 

 – 

Clicking on the 

Mouse 

icon allows you to select the 

Mouse Settings 

mode being used, as well as to manually adjust settings related to 

mouse synchronization. The following section describes the settings found via the 

Mouse 

icon and how to use them, as well as general tips 

for mouse synchronization and improving keyboard/mouse response time.

To set the Mouse Settings mode:

1.  Click on the   icon in the remote session toolbar, and choose the 

Mouse Settings

 option. The 

Mouse Settings

 window appears.

2.  By default, the 

Absolute Mouse Position (Microsoft Windows) 

mode is selected for Target Servers connected using a USB SIU. 

Relative 

Mouse Position (OS-Specific) 

mode is the default for Target Servers connected using a PS/2 SIU. You can manually select among the 

following:

• 

Absolute Mouse Position (Microsoft Windows) –

 Absolute Mouse Position (Microsoft Windows) 

mode should be used if the 

Target Server’s operating system is Windows ME or later. The 

Absolute Mouse Position (Microsoft Windows) 

function automatically 

sends the mouse coordinates to the remote session, providing optimal synchronization. You do not need to manually configure any 

mouse settings when 

Absolute Mouse Position 

is selected. 

Note: 

Absolute Mouse Position 

mode cannot be used for Target Servers 

connected with a PS/2 SIU.

• 

Relative Mouse Position, OS-Generic – 

Relative Mouse Position, OS-Generic 

mode should be used if the other mouse settings 

modes are not performing satisfactorily. When this mode is in effect, the user must focus the mouse within the remote session 
window by clicking inside of it. From then on the mouse remains captured, and any mouse movement will remain within the borders 
of the remote session window. To exit out of this mode, press [Ctrl] + [Alt].

• 

Relative Mouse Position, OS-Specific – 

Relative Mouse Position, OS-Specific 

mode should be used when the Target Server is 

running Windows operating systems prior to ME. When selected, additional settings are provided that allow you to manually configure 

the 

Mouse Settings 

according to your Target Server’s OS (see the 

Relative Mouse Position, OS-Specific Mode 

section in this manual 

for details on the available settings).

• 

Apple Macintosh Mouse

 – 

Apple Macintosh Mouse

 mode should be used if the Target Server is a Mac. The 

Apple Macintosh Mode

 

function automatically sends the mouse coordinates to the remote session, providing optimal synchronization. You do not need to 

manually configure any mouse settings when this mode is selected. 

Note:

 

Apple Macintosh Mouse

 mode cannot be used for Target 

Servers connected with a PS2 SIU.
