Options Menu
When you click Options in the Control Bar, a drop-down menu appears.
Figure 14 Options Menu
• Monitor Only – toggles the MCIP between no remote console interaction and remote
monitoring.
• Exclusive Access – users with the appropriate permissions can close all other users on the
Remote Console at that time. No user can open the Remote Console while this user is active
until this user disables Exclusive Access or logs off. Changing access is visible in the status
line (please see Remote Console Status Line section, below, for additional information).
• Readability Filter – toggles the Readability Filter on / off. If Readability Filter is ON in
scaling mode, it will preserve most of the screen details, even if the image is scaled down.
Please note that this option is available only with JVM 1.4 or higher.
•
Scaling – allows scaling up to the size of the Remote Console screen. You can still use both
keyboard and mouse, but the scaling algorithm may not preserve all display details.
• Mouse Handling – select an option for synchronizing local mouse and remote mouse:
− Fast Sync – used to correct a temporary but fixed skew.
− Intelligent Sync – used if Fast Sync does not work or if the mouse settings have been
changed on the host system. Please note that Intelligent Sync takes longer than Fast Sync,
and requires a correctly adjusted screen. Use the auto adjustment function or the manual
correction in the Video Settings panel to adjust.
• Mouse Mode – choose Single Mouse Mode or Double Mouse Mode.
• Local Cursor – choose from different icons for the local mouse pointer. The icon selected
will be saved for this user and activated every time this user opens Remote Console. The icon
list depends on the JVM version (JVM version 1.2 or higher offers a full list).
• Chat Window – MCIP Remote Console features a Chat Window that allows communication
among all users logged into the same card. This feature is useful for discussing problems or
answering questions among all users.
Chat Window Components include:
− Title Bar – displays the MCIP address
− Chat Area – read-only text area that displays messages
− Identity Label – displays the identity string; the first part of the string is the user’s ID,
the second part is the hostname of the client system, and the last part (in parentheses) is
the user name
− Chat Line – an editable text line where you type a new message; once finished, press
Enter to broadcast the message to all connected users. If a user does not have the chat
window open, it will launch automatically and display the new message. There is no
option to direct a message to a particular user only.
