installed on your system, it will be downloaded and installed automatically. However,
in order to make the installation possible, you still need to answer the according
dialogs with “yes” . The download volume is around 11 Mbytes. The advantage of
downloading Sun's JVM lays in providing a stable and identical Java Virtual Machine
across different platforms. The Remote Console software is optimized for this JVM
versions and offers wider range of functionality when run in SUN's JVM. (Hint: If you
are connected over a slow connection to the Internet you can also pre-install the JVM
on your administration machine. The software is available on the CD ROM that is
delivered along with the IP-KVM switch.)
ActiveX control
This option instructs the web browser to use the ActiveX-Control of the KVM Vision
Viewer, an application available separately. You have to install this program on your
local system, please refer to the manual of the KVM vision viewer for further
information. This option only works with Microsoft Internet Explorer on Win32
Systems.
Miscellaneous Remote Console Settings
Start in Monitor Mode
Sets the initial value for the monitor mode. By default the monitor mode is off. In case
you switch it on, the Remote Console window will be started in a read only mode.
Start in Exclusive Access Mode
Enables the exclusive access mode immediately at Remote Console startup. This
forces the Remote Consoles of all other users to close. No one can open the Remote
Console at the same time again until this user disables the exclusive access or logs
off.
Mouse hotkey
Allows to specify a hotkey combination which starts either the mouse synchronization
process if pressed in the Remote Console, or is used to leave the single mouse mode.
Remote Console Button Keys
Button Keys allow simulating keystrokes on the remote system that cannot be generated
locally. The reason for this might be a missing key or the fact, that the local operating
system of the Remote Console is unconditionally catching this keystroke already. Typical
examples are “Alt+Delete” on Windows and DOS, what is always caught, or
“ Backspace ” on Linux for terminating the X-Server. The syntax to define a new
Button Key is as follows:
[confirm] <keycode>[+|-[*]<keycode>]*
“confirm” requests confirmation by a dialog box before the key strokes will be sent to the
remote host.
“ keycode” is the key to be sent. Multiple key codes can be concatenated with a plus, or a
minus sign. The plus sign builds key combinations, all keys will be pressed until a minus
sign or the end of the combination is encountered. In this case all pressed keys will be
released in reversed sequence. So the minus sign builds single, separate keypresses
and -releases. The star inserts a pause with duration of 100 milliseconds.
