USING YOUR RIPC
Remote Access Options
The Remote Access title bar displays information about the incoming (In:) and
outgoing (Out:) network traffic. If you are using the compressed encoding,
both compressed and uncompressed incoming traffic will be indicated.
Remote Access Title Bar
Power Management Unit
This provides a Java applet that enables the telnet protocol to open a
connection to the RIPC. Its main use is the pass-through option for serial port
1, however, it also allows you to connect with a standard Telnet client. Telnet
access must be enabled in the security settings.
RIPC Mouse Synchronization
The RIPC addresses a common KVM-device challenge, which is the synchronization
between the local and remote mouse cursors. To do so, it uses an intelligent
synchronization algorithm.
There are three ways to re-synchronize local and remote mouse signals:
Fast Sync
The fast synchronization is used to correct a temporary, but fixed skew. Choose
the option using the Remote Access options menu or, if you defined a mouse
synchronization hot key sequence, use it.
Sync Detect
If the sync doesn't work, or if the mouse settings have been changed on the
host system, use the intelligent re-synchronization. This method takes longer
than the fast synchronization and can be accessed with the appropriate item
in the Remote Access option menu. The intelligent synchronization requires a
correctly adjusted picture. Use the auto-adjustment function or the manual
correction in the Video Settings panel to set up the picture.

USING YOUR RIPC
Single (Direct) Mouse Mode
If all synchronization options fail, it is still possible to work with the remote
mouse by selecting the single-mouse mode, using the image button. If
activated, all mouse movements are transmitted directly to the host, so you
can adjust the host mouse settings to less extreme values, or work in this
mode if mouse acceleration is turned off. In this mode all synchronization
options perform a fast sync.
Limitations of the Mouse Synchronization
While the intelligent algorithm works fine for common cases, there are some
special limitations, which may prevent the synchronization from working
properly:
Special Mouse Driver
These are mouse drivers that influence the synchronization process leading to
desynchronized mouse pointers. If this happens, make sure you don't use a
special vendor-specific mouse driver on your host system.
Badly Adjusted Picture
For intelligent sync to work, a correctly adjusted picture is necessary. Use the
auto-adjustment function or the manual correction in the Video Settings panel
to set up the picture.
Active Desktop
Check to see whether you have the Active Desktop feature of Microsoft
Windows enabled. If so, do not use a plain background; be sure to use some
kind of wallpaper. You can also disable the Active Desktop entirely.
