Chapter 4. ASMI G4 Module Configuration
Auto Mouse Speed and Mouse Synchronization
The automatic mouse speed mode performs the speed detection during mouse synchronization.
Whenever the mouse does not behave correctly, there are two ways for re-synchronizing local and
remote mouse:
Fast Sync
The fast synchronization is used to correct a temporary but fixed skew. Choose this option from the
Remote Console Options menu (entry: Mouse Handling). If defined you may also press the mouse
synchronization hotkey sequence (see
the Section called Remote Console Control Bar in Chapter 5
for details)
Intelligent Sync
If the Fast Sync does not work or the mouse settings have been changed on the host system, use the
Intelligent Synchronization, instead. This method adjusts the parameters for the actual movement of
the mouse pointer so that the mouse pointer is displayed at the correct position on the screen.
This method takes longer than the Fast Sync and can be accessed with the appropriate item in the
Remote Console Option menu (entry: Mouse Handling).
On top of that please note that the shape of the mouse pointer has a significant influence on the
pointer detection. We recommend to use a simple, but common pointer shape. In most cases, the
detection and synchronization of animated pointer shapes is likely to fail. In general, pointer shapes
that change during the pointer detection process are almost impossible to find in the transmitted
video picture. With the usage of a standard mouse pointer shape the detection is rather simple and
the synchronization works best.
Figure 4-3. Remote Console Control Bar: Sync Mouse Button
The "Sync Mouse" button in the Remote Console Tool Bar can behave differently, depending on the
current state of the mouse synchronization. Usually pressing this button leads to a Fast Sync, except
in situations where the KVM port or the video mode have recently changed. See also
the Section called Remote Console Control Bar in Chapter 5
.
Host System Mouse Settings
The host’s operating system knows various settings for the mouse driver.
Note: The following limitations do not apply to USB mice and Mouse Type "MS Windows 2000 and
newer" (Absolute Mouse Mode).
