Chapter 5. Usage

Undo Changes

Restore last settings.

Note: The Video Settings Panel and the according entry in the Options menu is only
available for members of the “administrator” group and the user “super”.

Refresh Video

Use this option to refresh the video picture. The video data for the Remote Console
is updated completely.

On startup of the Remote Console, the B050-000 transmits the entire video picture
from the remote host. Subsequently, the parts of the video picture that did not change
are filtered and not transmitted, again. This leads to less video data to be transmitted.
It may happen that there are parts of the video picture that are not updated correctly
(video noise, compression errors). You may use this option to initiate an entire re-
fresh, manually.

Soft Keyboard

The Soft Keyboard simulates an entire keyboard that is connected to the remote sys-
tem. It is necessary in case your remote system runs with a completely different lan-
guage and country mapping than your administration machine. By selecting the ac-
cording button(s) you can send key codes and also key sequences to the remote sys-
tem and act as if you would work with a keyboard that is directly connected to the
remote system.

In order to open the Soft Keyboard select the entry “Soft Keyboard” from the Options
menu. You can send single key strokes like

F

as well as combinations of keys such as

Ctrl+C

or

AltGr+Shift+F4

.

For a single key stroke you can click on the button with the according character.
Single keys such as regular characters and numbers are sent immediately. Special
keys like

Ctrl

,

Shift

as well as the function keys

F1

to

F12

have to be selected twice.

The first press sends the signal “key is pressed”, the second press indicated the signal
“key is released” to the remote system. After the first press the button will change its
color to signalize that the according key is pressed, currently. After the second press
the button will appear as usual and signalize that the key was sent.

To send the key combination

Ctrl+C

select the button

Ctrl

first. The button will

change its color. Press the button

C

. The following key (

C

in our example) will be

combined with the previously selected key. Both the buttons

Ctrl

and

C

are released

and the key combination will be sent to the remote system. The button

Ctrl

will

appear as normal (color change).

In order to send the key combination

Ctrl+F5

three steps have to be done. Select the

button

Ctrl

once and the button

F5

twice. The last press will release both buttons

and send the key combination to the remote system.

In order to send the key combination

AltGr+Shift+F4

four steps are required. First,

select the button

AltGr

once. Second, select the button

Shift

. Finally, choose the but-

ton

F4

twice. The last press will release all the buttons and send the key combination

to the remote system.
