The following table describes each available action: Hotkey Action Description Action Description Exit Remote Location Allows you to end the remote connection and return your display to your local screen.
Mouse Synchronization Mouse movements have no effect on your local system when you connect to a remote system. Mouse movements are captured and sent to the remote system. You may discover from time to time, that mouse movements are no longer in sync with the remote system’s mouse pointer. This may occur if you have changed the video resolution.
1. Press Hotkeys [F9] [F10] [F11] to initiate the Adjust Mouse action. The following alert message window appears: 2. Click Continue to dismiss the message. 3. Move the local mouse pointer exactly on top of the remote mouse pointer. 4. Click one time to synchronize the local and remote mouse pointers. If auto-synching doesn’t solve the problem, check the mouse speed and acceleration settings for the computer (or computers via KVM switch) connected to the KN9000.
• Windows XP: Select Start > Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer Options. Set the mouse speed to the middle position and disable Enhance Pointer Precision (as shown below): • WinMe / Win95: Set the mouse speed to the middle position and disable mouse acceleration. • WinNT / Win98: Set the mouse speed to the slowest position.
Video Adjustment You may need to adjust the location and picture quality of the remote screen displayed on your local monitor. To make video adjustments: 1. Press Hotkeys [F5] [F6] [F7] to initiate the Adjust Video action. The Video Options window displays (as shown below). 2. Complete one or more of the following options: • Screen position use the arrows to adjust the position of the remote window.
• Video Quality: Drag the slider bar to adjust the overall Video Quality. The larger the value, the clearer the picture and the more video data pass through the network. Depending on the network bandwidth, a high value may adversely affect response time. The KN9000 uses this setting as the criteria to control the video quality and refresh speed. • Bandwidth Control: Informs the KN9000 of network bandwidth. If you have a high-bandwidth network, such as a fiber optic cabling, drag the slider bar towards High.
1. Select Tools > Keyboard from the KN9000 Client window. The Hot Keys Setup window appears, as shown below. 2. Click one time to highlight the action you want to change in the Actions list. 3. Delete the corresponding information in the Keys field and then click Start. NOTE: To interrupt this process and return your keyboard to normal operation, click Stop at any time. 4. Press the desired Function keys one at a time. As you press each key, its corresponding name appears in the Keys field. 5.
Chapter 5 The Java Client The Java Client software makes the KN9000 accessible to all platforms. Unlike the Windows Client, any system running Sun’s Java 2 (or IBM’s Java 1.3) can connect to the KN9000. NOTE: Java 2 is available for free download from Sun’s Java website:http://java.sun. com This chapter provides instructions for installing the Java Client software. It also includes information about how to connect to the KN9000 and remotely control the connected server (or servers via a KVM switch).
1. Double-click the KN9000 Java Client icon. If you are running the program for the first time, the Serial Number window appears (see figure below). 2. Enter your assigned serial number (5 characters per field) and then click OK. If you do not know your serial number, contact your KN9000 administrator. 3. The Java Client starts. A Welcome and Address input window appears, as shown below.
4. Enter the IP address for the KN9000 unit in the Address Input window. Include the forward slash, followed by the name of the web page provided for the Java Client connection by the KN9000. For example: 192.168.10.95/altusen.html For security purposes, the name of the page that you connect to must be specified correctly as part of the IP address. The system administrator may change the name of this page from time to time to prevent unauthorized access attempts.
Once connected, the remote system displays on your local monitor as show in the figure below. Operating the KN9000 Remote Window Once a connection to the KN9000 is established, you can perform local keystroke and mouse operations on the remote system displayed on your local monitor, just as if it were your local system’s display. You can toggle between your local and remote programs by pressing [Alt + Tab]. NOTE: • Due to Net lag, there might be a slight delay before your keystrokes produce an action.
The User Panel A User Panel (see figure below) located at the bottom of the remote screen is a Java applet that provides you with control over KN9000 operations. The User Panel includes five buttons used for various adjustments, three LED status indicators and a message area, as listed below. You can read additional details on the User Panel as this section proceeds. User Panel Buttons: • Video Adjustment; • Key Pad; • Mouse Synchronization; • Screen Navigation; • Exit.
Video Adjustment The Video Adjustment button allows you to adjust the placement and picture quality of the remote system. The Java Client Video Adjustment works in a similar fashion to the Windows Client Adjust Video feature. Click the Video Adjustment button to display the Video Settings window (see figure below). NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you perform the Auto sync one time after you connect to a KN9000 unit for improved mouse synchronization.
Key Pad provides you with the following four keyboard combinations: • Reset: provides the equivalent of pressing [Ctrl + Alt + Del] on the remote keyboard. Pressing Reset allows you to reboot the remote system. • Ctrl-Esc: provides the equivalent of pressing [Ctrl + Esc] on the remote keyboard. The User Panel covers the remote system’s Start Menu button. Ctrl-Esc activates the Start Menu of the remote system. • Alt-Tab: provides the equivalent of [Ctrl + Alt] on the remote keyboard.
Mouse Synchronization You may discover from time to time, that local mouse movements are no longer in sync with the remote system’s mouse pointer. Mouse Synchronization provides you with the ability to synchronize the local and remote mouse movement. The Java Client Mouse Synchronization works in a similar fashion to the Windows Client Mouse Synchronization feature. To use this feature: 1. Click the Mouse Synchronization button: 2.
Exit Click the Exit button to exit the Java Client program and return your system to local operation. Remote Keyboard LEDs The simulated LEDs display the Lock key status of the remote system’s keyboard. Click on each button to toggle the lock status of the remote keyboard. A green LED indicates the ON position.
