NOTE: When using a non-proxied connection, video performance over a slower network connection may be less
than optimal. Since certain color settings (such as grayscale) use less network bandwidth than others (such as Best
Color), changing the color settings may increase video performance. For optimal video performance over a slower
network connection, a color setting such as grayscale/Best Compression or Low Color/High Compression is
recommended. See Color depth on page 294.
Figure B.1: Ports Used with a KVM Switch Connection Without Proxy
In a proxied connection, communication with TCP/IP ports 8192 and 2068 occurs between the
server and the KVM switch instead of directly between the client and the KVM switch. The
client receives information by communicating back and forth with the server using port 1078.
