The Java Client

The Main Screen

After a successful login, the remote system's screen displays on your monitor.

You can perform mouse and keyboard operations on this screen just as if it were your local system's display.

Note:

  1. You can switch between your local and remote programs with [Alt + Tab].
  2. Due to net lag, there might be a slight delay before your keystrokes show up. You may also have to wait a bit for the remote mouse to catch up to your local mouse before you click.
  3. Due to net lag, or insufficient computing power on the local machine, some images, especially motion images, may display poorly.
  4. If the local and remote mouse pointers get out of sync, you can use the Mouse Synchronization button to bring them back into sync.


The Toolbar

The Toolbar is a Java applet that gives you control over the remote KVM operations. It is hidden at the bottom center of the screen, and appears when you move the mouse pointer over this area.


Video Settings:

Video Settings allows you to adjust the placement and picture quality of the remote display. We recommend that you perform an Autosync right after you connect for improved mouse synchronization.

Note: You can perform a quick Auto-Sync by moving the mouse pointer over the Video Settings icon on the toolbar and clicking the Right mouse button.


The Keypad:

Some keyboard combinations can not be captured and sent to the remote computer. In order to implement their effects on the remote system, this function provides a one-click implementation of some common window control combinations.


Mouse Synchronization:

At times the local mouse movement may lose sync with the remote mouse movement. The Mouse Synchronization function gets them back into sync.
  1. Click the Mouse Synchronization button
  2. Wait for the remote mouse pointer to move to the upper left corner of the screen.
  3. Move your local mouse pointer directly over the remote mouse pointer and Click.
If these steps were successful, a Mouse synchronization finished message appears. If not, a Wrong position message displays, in which case you should try the procedure again.


The Message Board:

The Message Board functions much like an internet chat program, allowing users to communicate with each other.

The three Button Bar buttons perform the following actions:

Messages that users post to the board - as well as system messages - display in the Message Display panel. Key in the messages that you want to post to the board in the Compose panel. Click Send, to post the message to the board.

The names of all the logged in users appear in the User List panel. By default, messages are posted to all users. To post a message to one individual user, select the user's name before sending your message. If a user's name is selected, and you want to post a message to all users, select All Users before sending your message.

To Hide/Unhide the User List panel, click on the arrows in the panel separator.


Lock LEDs:

These simulated LEDs show what the Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock status on the remote system is. They are active. Click the LED to toggle the remote system's status.


Screen Mode:

Clicking this button toggles the display between full screen and windowed modes.
