USB Mouse Type
Enables USB mouse type. Choose between MS Windows 2000 or newer for MS Windows
2000 or Windows XP, or Other Operating Systems for MS Windows NT, Linux, or OS X. In MS
Windows 2000 or newer mode the remote mouse is always synchronized with the local
mouse.
Mouse Speed
Auto mouse speed
Use this option if the mouse settings on the host use an additional
acceleration setting. The U8/16-IP tries to detect the acceleration and speed of the mouse
during the mouse sync process.
Fixed mouse speed
Use a direct translation of mouse movements between the local and
the remote pointer.
You may also set a fixed scaling which determines the amount the remote mouse pointer is
moved when the local mouse pointer is moved by one pixel. This option only works when the
mouse settings on the host are linear. This means that there is no mouse acceleration involved.
To set the options, click on the Apply button.
Video
Miscellaneous Video Settings
Noise filter
This option defines how the U8/16-IP reacts to small changes in the video input signal. A large
filter setting needs less network traffic and leads to a faster video display, but small changes in
some display regions may not be recognized immediately. A small filter displays all changes
instantly but may lead to a constant amount of network traffic even if the display content is not

really changing (depending on the quality of the video input signal). All in all the default setting
should be suitable for most situations.
Force Composite Sync (Required for Sun Computers)
To support signal transmission from a Sun machine, enable this option. If not enabled the
picture of the remote console will not be visible. To set the options, click Apply.
5.7.5. Device Settings
Network
The Network Settings panel allows network related parameters to be changed. Each parameter
will be explained below. Once applied the new network settings will immediately come into
effect.
Note:
The initial IP configuration is usually done directly at the host system using the
special procedure described on Page 20.
Changing the network settings of the U8/16-IP might result in losing connection to it. In case
you change the settings remotely make sure that all the values are correct and you still have
an option to access the U8/16-IP.
