Using GUI Console Redirection 177
NOTE: Special keys such as the Windows key, <Ctrl
Prnt Scrn>, and <Alt Fn> key combinations in the
keyboard pass–through mode may be problematic, as
some combinations are sent to the viewer itself and
might produce undesirable behavior. Special
provisions are made in the Java and ActiveX viewers
for macros under the Keyboard menu, which allow you
to send such combinations and special keys directly to
the managed server.
Mouse Synchronize
Cursor
The Mouse menu enables you to synchronize the
cursor so that the mouse on the client is redirected
to the mouse on the server.
Options Color Mode Allows you to select a color depth to improve
performance over the network. For example, if you
are installing software from virtual media, you can
choose the lowest color depth (3-bit gray), so that
less network bandwidth is used by the console viewer
leaving more bandwidth for transferring data from
the media.
The color mode can be set to 15-bit color, 7-bit color,
4-bit color, 4-bit grey, and 3-bit grey.
Media Virtual Media
Wizard
The Media menu provides access to the Virtual
Media Wizard, which allows you to redirect to a
device or image such as a:
• Floppy drive
•CD
• DVD
• Image in ISO format
• USB Flash drive
For information about the Virtual Media feature, see
"Configuring and Using Virtual Media" on page 185.
You must keep the Console Viewer window active
when using Virtual Media.
