User Console
The following settings are user-specific. That means the administrator can
customize these settings for every user separately. Changing the settings for one
user does not affect the settings for the other users.

1. Remote Console Settings for User
This selection box displays the user ID for which the values are shown and for
which the changes will take effect. Select the desired user from the selection
box and press the “Update” button. This will result in displaying the user
settings indicated below.
Note: You are allowed to change the settings of other users only if you have
the necessary access rights for this task. It is not possible for a regular user
without the required permissions to change the settings for any other users.
2. Transmission Encoding
The “Transmission Encoding” setting allows you to change the image-encoding
algorithm that transmits video data to the Remote Console window. It is
possible to optimize the speed of the remote screen depending on the number
of users working at the same time and the bandwidth of the connection line
(modem, ISDN, DSL, LAN, etc.).
2a. Automatic Detection
Encoding and compression level are determined automatically from the
available bandwidth and current content of the video image.
2b. Pre-Configured Settings
The pre-configured settings deliver the best result because of optimized
compression adjustment and color depth for the indicated network speed.
2c. Manual Configuration
This allows you to adjust compression rate and color depth individually.
Depending on the selected compression rate, the data stream between
the RIPM and the Remote Console will be compressed in order to save
bandwidth. Since high compression rates are very time-consuming,
they should not be used while several users are accessing the RIPM
simultaneously. The standard color depth is 16-bit (65536 colors). The
other color depths are intended for slower network connections in order
to allow a faster transmission of data. Therefore, compression level 0 (no
compression) uses only 16-bit color depth. At lower bandwidths, only
4-bit (16 colors) and 2-bit (four gray scales) are recommended for typical
desktop interfaces. Photo-like pictures have best results with 4-bit color
depth. One-bit color depth (black/white) should be used only for extremely
slow network connections.
