Configuration and
Operation Ease
An easy-to-navigate graphical user interface makes for convenient,
intuitive configuration and operation. Web-based Windows and
Java implementations allow the remote equipment to be controlled
from industry-standard web browsers. Windows and Java AP client
software – using the same, convenient, GUI – are also included to
provide access where a browser environment is not desired.
Superior Video With its enhanced fps throughput for crisp responsive video display,
the CN8000 offers resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz;
vibrant 24-bit color depth for rich remote session display. The
remote desktop can appear full-screen, or in a window. In full-
screen mode the remote desktop display scales to the user’s
monitor display size.
Virtual Media USB 1.1 and 2.0 devices (Floppy drives, CDROMs, Flash drives,
etc.), folders, and image files on a user’s local system, appear and
act as if they were installed on the remote server, for ease and
convenience when performing software installation and system
updates across the entire Installation.
