When using the viewer window
What is the best
screen resolution to use?
The best resolution for your computer is one that is larger than the screen of the host
computer that you are viewing. This will allow you to see everything without scrolling around.
Alternatively, the VNC viewer can be set to scale the image to fit your screen, but remember
that some pixel dithering effect will be seen when scaling is used.
How do I navigate around a larger screen?
If the screen that you are viewing has a larger resolution than your viewing window you
will need to scroll around to see all items. The viewer window allows you to ‘bump scroll’
(only in full screen mode). This means that when your mouse cursor bumps against the
edge of the screen, the screen image will scroll across automatically.
How do I escape from full screen mode?
Press the
F8 button. This button is changeable but is most often set to F8.
How do I make the most of a slow connection?
The VNC viewer is slightly better suited to slower connections than the browser viewer
because it offers more options. Click the
Options
button of the VNC viewer when
entering the ALIF 2112T address during log on.
Rate limit mouse events
When selected, this mode greatly reduces the mouse movement data that are sent to
the host computer. When
you move the local mouse, the remote cursor will catch up
roughly once per second.
