Remote Console Type

Specifies, which Remote Console Viewer to use.

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).

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 lays in providing a stable and identical Java Virtual Machine
across different platforms. The Remote Console software is optimized for this JVM
versions and offers wider range of functionality when run in SUN's JVM. (Hint: If you
are connected over a slow connection to the Internet you can also pre-install the JVM
on your administration machine. The software is available on the CD ROM that is
delivered along with the PS/2 IP-KVM switch.)

Miscellaneous Remote Console Settings

Start in Monitor Mode

Sets the initial value for the monitor mode. By default the monitor mode is off. In case
you switch it on, the Remote Console window will be started in a read only mode.

Start in Exclusive Access Mode

Enables the exclusive access mode immediately at Remote Console startup. This
forces the Remote Consoles of all other users to close. No one can open the Remote
Console at the same time again until this user disables the exclusive access or logs
off.

Mouse hotkey

Allows to specify a hotkey combination which starts either the mouse synchronization
process if pressed in the Remote Console, or is used to leave the single mouse mode.

Remote Console Button Keys

Button Keys allow simulating keystrokes on the remote system that cannot be generated
locally. The reason for this might be a missing key or the fact, that the local operating
system of the Remote Console is unconditionally catching this keystroke already. Typical
examples are “ Control+Alt+Delete ” on Windows and DOS, what is always caught, or
“Control+Backspace” on Linux for terminating the X-Server. The syntax to define a new
Button Key is as follows:
