PS/2
: This area will show PS/2 (as in this example) to indicate if keyboard and mouse are
PS/2 signals. If Autosync appears beneath this indicator, the mouse pointers on the local
mouse and the VNC session will be synchronized automatically.

ScrollLock respectively.

How to Use the Main Menu
To access the main menu, press
F7
twice quickly. You must press the key twice within one second.
If you press it once or too slowly, then the
F7
key(s) are sent to the host, just like any other key. This
is the only way to get into the menu system, if the Bribar is disabled. Here is the main menu for a
typical system:
The main menu window may be moved by clicking and dragging on the title bar. It can be closed by
pressing Escape, or by clicking on the red X in the top right corner.
Here is a guide outlining various fields from the Main Menu. Most of the functions operate immediately.
Other functions require a response to a confirmation prompt first before performing the requested
function.
Identification
: Fixed text label that is defined by the user in the Web interface. This does not
affect the operation of the system and is intended to assist with administration.
Status
: Current status of the attached system and the status of the module.
B/W Min/Avg/Max/Auto
: Bandwidth control. The white button is the mode the system is currently
operating. If you choose Min/Avg/Max then you will override the default, Auto. As the automatic
mode measures actual network performance, you may see the current mode switch from Min up
to Avg or Max. The different modes indicate more time spent on compression versus more
bandwidth. There is no visual difference between the modes, but there can be a noticeable
difference in speed and smoothness.
Mouse Resync
: Resynchronizes the mouse pointer so that the local and remote mouse pointers
are on top of each other.
PS/2 Reset
: Resets the PS/2 emulation going to the host and to the attached PS/2 devices. This
can be used if the mouse stops responding or the PS/2 keyboard isn't working.
