From the Video Viewer window, select Tools - Single Cursor Mode.
Cursor settings
When using the DS Management Software, your mouse pointer will change shape when over a
Video Viewer window. You may change the appearance of this second local cursor or eliminate it
from within the DSView management software. See Changing the System Settings on page 58 for
more information.
Scaling
You may choose among three preconfigured mouse scaling options or set your own custom scaling.
The preconfigured settings are: Default (1:1), High (2:1) or Low (1:2), as follows:
• In a 1:1 scaling ratio, every mouse movement on the desktop window will send an equivalent
mouse movement to the server.
• In a 2:1 scaling ratio, the same mouse movement will send a 2X mouse movement.
• In a 1:2 scaling ratio, the value will be 1/2X.
Alignment
Because the DSView management software cannot get constant feedback from the mouse, there are
times when the mouse on the DS appliance system may lose sync with the mouse on the host
system. If your mouse or keyboard no longer responds properly, you may align the mouse to re-
establish proper tracking or reset the PS/2 connection.
Alignment causes the local cursor to be aligned with the cursor on the remote server. Resetting
causes the appliance to simulate a mouse and keyboard reconnect at the device as if you had
disconnected and then reconnected them.

1. Select Tools - Session Options from the Video Viewer window menu. The Session Options dia-
log box appears.
