Mouse Speed
Auto mouse speed
Use this option if the mouse settings on the host use an additional
acceleration setting. The IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH CLASSIC 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.
5.4.3 Video
Miscellaneous Video Settings
Noise filter
This option defines how the IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH CLASSIC 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.

5.5 Device Settings
5.5.1 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.
IP auto configuration
With this option you can control if the IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH CLASSIC should obtain its
network settings from a DHCP or BOOTP server. For DHCP, select dhcp, and for BOOTP
select bootp. If you choose none then IP auto configuration is disabled.
IP address
IP address in the usual dot notation.
Subnet Mask
The net mask of the local network.
Gateway IP address
In case the IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH CLASSIC is accessible from networks other than the
local one, this IP address must be set to the local network router's IP address.
Note:
The initial IP configuration is usually done directly at the host system using the
special procedure described in Section 3, page 7.
Changing the network settings of the IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH CLASSIC 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 IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH
