Note: If the freeView IP 100 is connected to the Internet through a proxy server without NAT, the
Remote Console will not be available from the WAN interface because web proxies are not able
to relay the RFB packets.
In case of problems, consult the network administrator for proper network configuration.
5.5 Main Window
Starting the Remote Console will open another additional window which displays the screen
content of the host system. The Remote Console will behave the same as if it was being used
locally, including the keyboard and mouse. However, the reaction time for the keyboard and
mouse will have a slight delay. The severity of the delay depends on the bandwidth available to
access the unit. Also, special keyboard combinations (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Del in Windows) will affect the
local system and not the remote system. See the next section for more details.
Note: If a keyboard whose language is different from the host system’s default language is used
(e.g. a US English local keyboard is used to control a remote host running a German operating
system), the local language will be used instead of the remote language. In the previous example,
US characters will be sent to the host instead of German characters. To emulate the remote host
language, select the appropriate language using the Local Keyboard option in the dropdown
menu. See the next section for more details.
The Remote Console window will automatically adjust to fit the size of the remote screen.
However, the Remote Console window can be resized manually in the local window system the
same way as other applications.
Note: The Remote Console window must be selected in the local operating system in order for
mouse and keyboard input to be sent to the remote host.
5.5.1 Remote Console Control Bar
The top bar of the Remote Console window shown in Figure 5-5 contains the control bar. The
control bar displays the state of the remote device and also allows the user to change the
Remote Console settings.

Ctrl+Alt+Delete
