Managing remote servers through the Video Session Viewer 83
Mouse tuning
To have the mouse pointers synchronized, you must change the mouse settings on the target server you
will be controlling remotely.
NOTE: HP recommends that all Windows® systems attached to the console switch use the default
Windows® mouse driver.
Windows operating systems
To synchronize the mouse pointers for Windows® operating systems (using the default drivers):
1. From the desktop, select Start>Settings>Control Panel, and double-click the Mouse icon.
2. Select Motion.
3. For Windows® 2000, set the Speed setting to 50% (default) and the Acceleration setting to None.
-or-
For Windows Server™ 2003, set the Speed setting to 50% (default) and clear the Enhance
Pointer Precision option.
Linux operating systems
NOTE: The following Linux example uses Red Hat 3.0. For more information, refer to your Linux operating
system's HELP or documentation.
To synchronize the mouse pointers for Linux operating systems (GNOME):
1. Click main menu.
2. From the main menu task list, select Programs>Settings>Peripherals.
3. From the Peripherals task list, select Mouse. The Mouse Configuration window appears. In this
window, you can set the mouse to be either right-handed or left-handed and adjust the mouse motion
by changing the threshold and adjusting the acceleration to the fourth position from the far left.
To synchronize the mouse pointers for Linux operating systems (KDE):
1. Go to the main menu, and select K Menu>KDE Control Center>Input Devices>Mouse.
2. Set the acceleration to 1X.
3. Apply the settings, and click OK.
Viewing multiple servers using Scan mode
The Video Session Viewer enables you to simultaneously view multiple servers through the Thumbnail
Viewer of Scan mode. This view contains a series of thumbnail frames, each containing a small, scaled,
non-interactive version of the screen image of the server. The server name and status indicator appears
below each thumbnail.
• A green LED indicates that a server is currently being scanned.
• A red X indicates that the last scan of the server was not successful. The scan might have failed
because of a credential or path failure (for example, the server path on the console switch was not
available). The tool tip for the LED indicates the reason for the failure.
The default thumbnail size is based on the number of servers in the scan list.
