• Host Interface - Enables a certain interface the mouse is connected to. You can choose
between “Auto” for automatic detection, “USB” for an USB mouse, and “PS/2” for a PS/2
mouse.
Warning!
To use the USB and/or PS/2 interface you need the correct cabling
between the managed host and the managing device. If the managed
host has no USB keyboard support in the BIOS and you have connected
the USB cable only, then you will have no remote keyboard access during
the boot process of the host. If USB and PS/2 are both connected and
you selected “Auto” as host interface, then the card will select “USB” if
available or otherwise falls back to “PS/2.”
To get USB remote keyboard access during the boot process of the host, the following
conditions must be fulfilled:
o the host BIOS must have USB keyboard support
o the USB cable must be connected or must be selected in the Host interface option
• PS/2 Keyboard Model – Enables a certain keyboard layout. You can choose between
“Generic 101-Key PC” for a standard keyboard layout, “Generic 104-Key PC” for a standard
keyboard layout extendend by three additional windows keys, “Generic 106-Key PC” for a
Japanese keyboard, and “Apple Macintosh” for the Apple Macintosh.
• Keyboard release timeout - Recommend “enable” for keyboard timeout when host is UNIX
or UNIX-like OS.
• USB Mouse Type – Enables USB mouse type. Choose between “Windows >= 2000 ,
MacOSX” for MS Windows 2000 or Windows XP, Mac OSX or “Other Operating Systems”
for MS Windows NT, Unix or Unix-like OS, or OS X. In “Windows >= 2000 , MacOSX” mode
the remote mouse is always synchronized with the local mouse.
• Mouse Speed
o Auto mouse speed – Use this option if the mouse settings on host use an additional
acceleration setting. The IP console tries to detect the acceleration and speed of the
mouse during the mouse sync process.
o 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 pixel-amount of the remote mouse
pointer movement when the local mouse pointer is moved by one pixel. This option is used
to manually control the remote mouse speed and only works when the mouse settings on
the host are linear. This means mouse acceleration of OS should be disabled, and the
intelligent mouse synchronization of IP console is not functioning under this setting.
To set the options, click on the button “Apply.”
