Key Release Timeout
This is an important option if you are accessing the ASMI module over a slow or congested network. In
such a situation you transmit a network packet containing the key PRESS to the ASMI module. When
you release the key, then the ASMI module will receive a corresponding RELEASE packet. When the
network is slow then it take too long for the RELEASE packet to arrive. This might mislead the ASMI
module to replicate the key press, this is like you holding down the desired key.
The Key Release Timeout in milli-seconds tells the ASMI module to consider the key released even
when no RELEASE packet has arrived. This avoids keys being unintentionally repeated.
USB Mouse Type
Enables the USB mouse type. Choose an appropriate option from the selection box. Choose between
"MS Windows 2000 or newer" for MS Windows 2000, 2003 Server, XP, or "Other Operating Systems"
for MS Windows NT, Linux, or OS X.
In "MS Windows 2000 or newer" mode the remote mouse is always synchronized with the local mouse.
For a detailed description of the mouse type and recommended options for the different operating
systems see
the Section called Recommended Mouse Settings in Chapter 4 .
Mouse Speed
• Auto mouse speed
Use this option if the mouse settings on the host use an additional acceleration setting. The ASMI
module tries to detect the acceleration and speed of the mouse during the mouse sync process.
• Fixed mouse speed
Use a direct translation of mouse movements between the local and the remote pointer.
You may also set a fixed scaling which determines the amount the remote mouse pointer is moved
when the local mouse pointer is moved by one pixel. This option only works when the mouse settings
on the host are linear. This means that there is no mouse acceleration involved.
To set the options click on the button "Apply".
