Functionality
The Spider device captures the video output from the attached computer, compresses and sends
it over the network to a Java KVM console window launched by the browser or to a command line
interface on the user system, which displays a replica of the server video output on the user
monitor.
The Spider device also uses Java KVM coaxnsole to accept keystrokes and mouse movements
on the user system; recognizes those intended for the target computer; transmits the keystrokes
and mouse movements; and emulates a physically attached keyboard and mouse.
Note: The Spider device supports up to 1600 x 1200 resolution at 60 Hz if its hardware
revision is G22, G23, E21 or higher. If the Spider device hardware is an earlier revision, it
will only support resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz. The hardware revision number
can be found on the Product Information Label as shown in
Figure 2-8.
