of data. Therefore compression level 0 (no compression) uses only 16 Bit color
depth. At lower bandwidths only 4 Bit (16 colors) and 2 Bit (4 gray scales) are
recommended for typical desktop interfaces. Photo-like pictures have best
results with 4 Bit (16 gray scales). 1 Bit color depth (black/white) should only be
used for extremely slow network connections.

Remote Console Type
Specifies, which Remote Console Viewer to use.
Default Java-VM
Uses the default Java Virtual Machine of your Browser. This may be the
Microsoft JVM for the Internet Explorer, or the Sun JVM if it is configured this
way. Use of the Sun JVM may also be forced (see below).
Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plugin
Instructs the web browser of your administration system to use the JVM of Sun
Microsystems. The JVM in the browser is used to run the code for the Remote
Console window, which is actually a Java Applet. If you check this box for the
first time on your administration system and the appropriate Java plug-in is not
already installed on your system, it will be downloaded and installed
automatically. However, in order to make the installation possible, you still
need to answer the according dialogs with “yes” . The download volume is
around 11 Mbytes. The advantage of downloading Sun's JVM lays in providing
a stable and identical Java Virtual Machine across different platforms. The
Remote Console software is optimized for this JVM versions and offers wider
range of functionality when run in SUN's JVM. Please make sure that you are
installing Sun JVM 1.4.2 or above to your client system.
Miscellaneous Remote Console Settings
Start in Monitor Mode
Sets the initial value for the monitor mode. By default the monitor mode is off.
In case you switch it on, the Remote Console window will be started in a read
only mode.
