Connection Properties
Dynamic video compression algorithms maintain KVM console usability
under varying bandwidth constraints.
The devices optimize KVM output not only for LAN use, but also for WAN
use.
These devices can also control color depth and limit video output,
offering an optimal balance between video quality and system
responsiveness for any bandwidth.
The parameters in the Properties dialog can be optimized to suit your
needs for different operating environments. Connection properties are
saved across subsequent connections to generation 2 devices once they
are set and saved.
To set the connection properties:
1. Choose Connection > Properties or click the Connection Properties
button in the toolbar. The Properties dialog appears.
2. Choose the Connection Speed from the drop-down list. The device
can automatically detect available bandwidth and not limit bandwidth
use. However, you can also adjust this usage according to
bandwidth limitations.

Note that these settings are an optimization for specific conditions
rather than an exact speed. The client and server always attempt to
deliver video as quickly as possible on the network regardless of the
current network speed and encoding setting. But the system will be
most responsive when the settings match the real world environment.
