4.12.6 Cursor Commands
The commands to enter and exit Single Cursor mode and the command to align the mouse cursors
cannot be set in a KVM session profile.
NOTE: If the target device does not support the ability to disconnect and reconnect the mouse (almost
all newer PCs do), then the mouse will become disabled and the device will have to be rebooted.
To prevent potential mouse conflicts, you may configure certain settings on each server connected to a
managed appliance. For details, see the Mouse and Pointer Settings Technical Bulletin, which is available
on the Vertiv web site.
To align the mouse cursors:
Click
Tools - Align Local Cursor
. The local cursor will align with the cursor on the remote device.
NOTE: If cursors drift out of alignment, turn off mouse acceleration in the device.
