Single port KVM over IP switch

Pre-configured
The pre-configured settings deliver the best result because of optimized adjustment
of compression and colour depth for the indicated network speed.
Manually
Allows to adjust both compression rate and the colour depth individually. Depending
on the selected compression rate the data stream between the IP-KVM switch and
the Remote Console will be compressed in order to save bandwidth. Since high
compression rates are very time consuming, they should not be used while several
users are accessing the IP-KVM switch simultaneously.
The standard colour depth is 16 Bit (65536 colours). The other colour depths are
intended for slower network connections in order to allow a faster transmission of
data. Therefore compression level 0 (no compression) uses only 16 Bit colour depth.
At lower bandwidths only 4 Bit (16 colours) and 2 Bit (4 gray scales) are
recommended for typical desktop interfaces. Photo-like pictures have best results
with 4 Bit (16 gray scales). 1 Bit colour depth (black/white) should only be used for
extremely slow network connections.

Remote Console Type
Specifies, which Remote Console Viewer to use.
Default Java-VM
Uses the default Java Virtual Machine of your Browser. This may be the Microsoft
JVM for the Internet Explorer, or the Sun JVM if it is configured this way. Use of the
Sun JVM may also be forced (see below).
Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plugin
Instructs the web browser of your administration system to use the JVM of Sun
Microsystems. The JVM in the browser is used to run the code for the Remote
Console window, which is actually a Java Applet. If you check this box for the first
time on your administration system and the appropriate Java plug-in is not already
