Launching a KVM Session
NOTE: When using a non-proxied connection, video performance over a slower network connection may be less
than optimal. Since certain color settings (such as Grayscale) use less network bandwidth than others (such as
Best Color), changing the color settings can increase video performance. For optimal video performance over a
slower network connection, Avocent recommends a color setting such as Grayscale/Best Compression or Low
Color/High Compression. See
