Note: 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.
• Remote Console Type : Specifies which Remote Console Viewer to use.
o Default Java VM: Uses the default Java Virtual Machine of your Browser. This may be
the Microsoft JVM for the Internet Explorer, or the Sun JVM if it is configured this way.
Use of the Sun JVM may also be forced (see below).
o Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plugin: 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 time on your administration system and the
appropriate Java plug-in is not already installed on your system, it will be downloaded
and installed automatically. However, in order to make the installation possible, you
still need to answer the according dialogs with “yes.” The download volume is around
11 Mbytes. The advantage of downloading Sun's JVM provides a stable and identical
Java Virtual Machine across different platforms. The Remote Console software is
optimized for this JVM version and offers a wider range of functionality when run in
SUN's JVM. Please make sure that you are installing Sun JVM 1.4.2 or above to your
client system.
Additional User Console Settings
• Miscellaneous Remote Console Settings: Logon preferences.
o Start in Monitor Mode: Sets the initial value for the monitor mode. By default the
monitor mode is off. If you switch it on, the Remote Console window will be started in a
read only mode.
