3.4.2 Configure Video Console
KVM-over-IP Sever Management supports host video resolution up to
1280X1024@60Hz and high color. To reduce network traffic, you can configure
the video console setting in web pages.
3.4.3 Configure Keyboard/Mouse
The proper configuration of a remote mouse is somewhat difficult to understand
unless you know some underlying concepts. Basically mouse transmits their
movement using two methods: either absolute or relative mode.
Absolute mode means that the mouse transmits absolute co-ordinates to KVM-
over-IP Sever Management .This is information like: "I am moving to screen co-
ordinates X, Y". This mode is very easy to track and most modern Windows
versions (XP, 2000, 2003) as well as Mac OS X use this. This mode is also
easiest for KVM-over-IP Sever Management to track.
The second mode is "relative mode". In this case the mouse transmits
information like "I am moving 97 pixels vertically and 88 pixels horizontally from
my previous position". This is much more difficult to track. Firstly KVM-over-IP
Sever Management has to know the starting point of the movement (hence you
need to press a special Synchronize Button, which allows KVM-over-IP Sever
Management to enquire the starting point of the mouse). Secondly a lot of other
factors come into play like the mouse acceleration which can be different on the
remote system and the system you are using to talk to KVM-over-IP Sever
