User guide

To enable or disable full screen mode:
NOTE: The View - Full Screen command may only be used by the primary user. The command is not available to
non-primary users who are sharing the session.
1. To enable full screen mode, click the Maximize button or select View - Full Screen from
the Video Viewer menu. The desktop window will disappear and only the accessed device
desktop will be visible. The screen will be resized up to a maximum of 1024 x 768. If the
desktop has a higher resolution, then a black background will surround the full screen
image. The floating toolbar will appear.
2. To disable full screen mode, click the Full Screen Mode button on the floating toolbar to
return to the desktop window.
Cursor commands
The mouse cursor and key for exiting single cursor mode commands may also be specified in a
KVM session profile; see Cursor profile settings on page 293.
The commands to enter and exit single cursor mode and the command to align the mouse
cursors cannot be set in a KVM session profile.
NOTE: If the target device does not support the ability to disconnect and reconnect the mouse (almost all newer
PCs do), then the mouse will become disabled and the device will have to be rebooted.
To prevent potential mouse conflicts, you may configure certain settings on each server
connected to a managed appliance. For details, see the Mouse and Pointer Settings Technical
Brief, which is available on the Avocent web site.
To change the mouse cursor setting:
1. Select Tools - Session Options from the Video Viewer menu or click the Session Options
button. The Session Options dialog box appears.
2. Click the Mouse tab.
3. In the Local Cursor panel, select a mouse cursor type.
4. Click OK.
To enter single cursor mode:
Select Tools - Single Cursor Mode from the Video Viewer menu or click the Single Cursor
Mode button. The local cursor will not appear and all movements will be relative to the target
device.
NOTE: Single cursor mode is only available on supported Windows system clients.
