Avocent PS/2 KVM Switch User Manual


 
Single port PS2 KVM over IP
on the Host interface setting, not all of the following options are always visible.
Warning:
To get USB remote keyboard access during the boot process of the host, the following
conditions must be fulfilled:
– the host’s bios must have USB keyboard support
– the USB cable must be connected
– “USB” or “Auto” must be selected in the Host interface option
. USB Mouse Type
Selecting “MS Windows 2000 or newer” enables the “absolute” mouse mode. In this mode the
remote mouse is always synchron with the local mouse. It is encouraged to select this, if you
have an appropriate operating system on the host. Otherwise select “Other Operating
System”.
. Mouse Mode
—Auto mouse speed
Use this option if the mouse settings on host use an additional acceleration setting. LARA
eco tries to detect the acceleration and speed of the mouse during the mouse sync process.
. Mouse Mode
—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
moved when the local mouse pointer is moved by one pixel. This option only works when
the mouse settings on host are linear, means that there is no mouse acceleration involved.
5.4.3 Video Settings
Figure5.11: Video Settings in HTML front-end
Enable local video port
This option decides if the local video output of PS/2 KVM over IP switch is active and passing
through the incoming signal from the host system.
Noise filter
This option defines how PS/2 KVM over IP switch 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
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.
