KVM-0850/1650 IP KVM switch
Manually
Allows to adjust both compression rate and the colour depth individually. Depending on
the selected compression rate the data stream between the KVM-0850/1650 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 KVM-0850/1650 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 (4 gray scales) are recommended for typical desktop
interfaces. Photo-like pictures have best results with 4 Bit (16 gray scales). 1 Bit color
depth (black/white) should only be used for extremely slow network connections.

Instructs the web browser of your administration system to use the JVM of Sun
Microsystems. The JVM in the browser is used to run the code for the Remote
Console window, which is actually a Java Applet. If you check this box for the first
