Chapter 6: Using the Video Viewer 187
In a 1:2 scaling ratio, the value will be 1/2X.
To set mouse scaling:
1. Select Tools - Session Options from the Video Viewer window menu.
-or-
Click the Session Options button.
The Session Options dialog box appears.
2. Click the Mouse tab.
3. To use one of the preconfigured settings, check the appropriate radio button.
4. To set custom scaling, click the Custom radio button. The X and Y fields become enabled. Type
a mouse scaling value in the X and Y fields. For every mouse input, the mouse movements are
multiplied by the respective X and Y scaling factors. Valid input ranges are 0.25-3.00.
Alignment
Because the DSView management software cannot get constant feedback from the mouse, there are
times when the mouse on the DS1800 digital switch or DSR switch may lose sync with the mouse
on the host system. If your mouse or keyboard no longer responds properly, you may align the
mouse to re-establish proper tracking.
Alignment causes the local cursor to be aligned with the cursor on the remote server. Resetting
causes the appliance to simulate a mouse and keyboard reconnect at the device as if you had
disconnected and then reconnected them.
To realign the mouse:
Click the Align Local Cursor button in the Video Viewer window toolbar.
Using Scan Mode
NOTE: Scan mode is not available when using the Topology Unit View window.
When the checkboxes of two or more target devices are selected in the DSView Explorer, the Scan
button will become available. If the Scan button is clicked, Scan mode will be started and the Video
Viewer windows will appear in the Thumbnail Viewer. A series of thumbnail frames appear in the
Thumbnail Viewer, each containing a small, scaled, non-interactive version of a target device
screen image.
The Scan mode moves from one thumbnail image to the next, logging into a device and displaying
an updated device image for a specified length of time (View Time Per Server), before logging out
of that device and moving on to the next thumbnail image. You may also specify a scan delay
between thumbnails (Time Between Servers). During the delay, you will see the last thumbnail
image for all devices in the scan sequence, though you won’t be logged into any devices.
