Chapter 5. Usage
Local Keyboard
Used to change the language mapping of your browser machine running the Re-
mote Console Applet. Normally, the applet determines the correct value automati-
cally. However, depending on your particular JVM and your browser settings this
is not always possible. A typical example is a German localized system that uses a
US-English keyboard mapping. In this case you have to change the Local Keyboard
setting to the right language manually.
Hotkeys
Opens a list of hotkeys defined before. In order to send a registered command to the
host system choose the according entry.
A confirmation dialog can be added that will be displayed before sending the selected
command to the remote host. Choose “OK” to perform the command on the remote
host. For a detailed description see the Section called Remote Console Button Keys in
Chapter 6.

Encoding
These options are used to adjust the encoding level in terms of compression and
color depth. They are only available unless “Transmission Encoding” is determined
automatically (see the Section called Transmission Encoding in Chapter 6).
• Compression level
You may select an value between 1 and 9 for the desired compression level with
level 1 enabling the fastest compression and level 9 the best compression. The most
suitable compression level should always be seen as a compromise between the
network bandwith that is available, on your video picture to be transferred, and
on the number of changes between two single video pictures. We recommend to
use a higher compression level if the network bandwidth is low. The higher the
compression level the more time is necessary to both pack or unpack the video
data on either side of the connection. The compression quality depends on the
video picture itself, e.g. the number of the colors or the diversity of pixels. The
lower the compression quality, the more data have to be sent and the longer it may
take to transfer the whole video picture.
If level 0 is chosen the video compression is disabled, completely.
The option “Video Optimized” has its advantages if transferring high-quality mo-
tion pictures. In this case the video compression is disabled, completely and all
video data is transferred via network as full-quality video snippets. Therefore, a
high amount of bandwidth is required to ensure the quality of the video picture.
