Some Tips about Viewer Connections
3.4.1 Typing the PRIMA IP IP Address
If you want to specify the type of connection rather than using the default one, click the
Options
button and optimize your connection parameters. Please refer to previous section for details.
Note that you can simply type in the access IP address of PRIMA
IP server without specifying the port number when the port
number is 5900 (default value).
IP_address [only if port number is 5900]
192.168.1.200
Of course, you can always type
IP_address:port_number
192.168.1.200:5900
However, if the port setting on PRIMA IP is already changed to
another port number, you have to specify its specific port
number following the IP address. For example, if you want to connect to port 5910 on the PRIMA IP server,
type:
192.168.1.8:5910
To configure the port base number, please refer to Section,4.6., Main/LAN TCP/IP – Port and IP
Settings.
3.4.2 Connection Performance Tuning
If you are using a dial-up modem line and experiencing slow keyboard mouse movement and response, you
might check whether you are using the default LAN encoding scheme or even the
No Compression
scheme,
which requires much more bandwidth; or there is a network bottleneck somewhere in between PRIMA IP
and your client desktop. For more details, please refer to Section 3.10, Video Display Problem
Troubleshooting.
3.4.3 Local and Remote Mouse Cursor Synchronization
Normally, you will see both the local cursor and the remote cursor on the view area. You can specify the
shape of the local cursor as seen within the viewer window as either a dot, an arrow or none (not showing
any local cursor within the viewer area). If these two cursors become out of sync, all you need to do is to hit
the mouse synchronization hotkey - by default (right) Ctrl / (right) Ctrl / Home - to synchronize the two
cursors.
While operating your mouse, it is not necessary to wait until the remote cursor has actually caught
up with the local one before you can click on the target in the view area. Actually, you can click the
target just using the local cursor without waiting for the remote cursor, because the click point is
recorded and the click will always take place at the right location. Therefore, if both cursors are
synchronized, the important one is the local cursor. You need not care about the remote cursor. That
