27. Remote Toolbar
The NetCommander KVM provides a toolbar that allows the remote
session to be manipulated. The features on the toolbar allow you to
toggle between accessible ports, adjust the video settings of the remote
session, align the local and remote mouse pointers, etc. When a remote
session is initiated, the toolbar is collapsed, and a thin bar appears at the
top-center of the screen. To expand the toolbar, simply move the mouse
pointer over the blue bar at the top-center of the screen. The following
sections describe the different settings found on the toolbar and how to
use them.
