With respect to the keyboard, there may be some confusion if the remote and local keyboards have different keyboard
layouts. Your local keyboard changes its keyboard layout in accordance with the remote host system. For instance, if you
use a Spanish administration system and your host system uses a US English keyboard layout, special keys on the Spanish
keyboard will not work as expected. Instead, the keys will result in their US English counterpart. You can circumvent such
problems by adjusting the keyboard of your remote system to the same mapping as your local one. The Remote Console
window always tries to show the remote screen with its optimal size. That means it will adapt its size to the size of the
remote screen initially and after the screen resolution of the remote screen has been changed. However, you can always
resize the Remote Console window in your local window system as usual.
Remote Console Control Bar
The upper part of the Remote Console window contains a control bar. Using its elements you can see the status of the
Remote Console and influence the local Remote Console settings. A description for each control follows.
Figure 5-5. Remote Console Control Bar
Ctrl+Alt+Delete
Special button key used to send the “Control Alt Delete” key combination to the remote system
(see also the Section called KVM Settings in Chapter 6 for defining new button keys).
Auto Adjust Button
If the video displayed is of bad quality or distorted in some way, press this button and wait a few seconds while
the B050-000 tries to adjust itself for the best possible video quality.
Sync Mouse
Choose this option in order to synchronize the local with the remote mouse cursor. This is especially
necessary when using accelerated mouse settings on the host system. In general, there is not a need to
change mouse settings on that system.
5. Usage
Warning: The Remote Console window on your local window system is just one window among others. In
order to make keyboard and mouse work, your Remote Console window must have the local input focus.
