Gateway (0.0.0.0 for none) [0.0.0.0]:
IP auto configuration
With this option, you can specify whether the DKVM-IP8 switch should get its network settings
from a DHCP or BOOTP server. For DHCP, enter “dhcp”, and for BOOTP enter “bootp”. If you do
not specify any of these, the IP auto configuration is disabled and subsequently you will be
asked for the following network settings.
IP address
The IP address the DKVM-IP8 switch uses. This option is only available if IP auto configuration is
disabled.
Net mask
The net mask of the connected IP subnet. This option is only available if IP auto configuration is
disabled.
Gateway address
The IP address of the default router for the connected IP subnet. If you do not have a default
router, enter 0.0.0.0. This option is only available if IP auto configuration is disabled.
4.1.3 Keyboard, Mouse and Video configuration
Between the DKVM-IP8 switch and the host, there are two interfaces available for transmitting
keyboard and mouse data: USB and PS/2. The correct operation of the remote mouse depends
on several settings which will be discussed in the following subsections.
4.1.3.1 DKVM-IP8 switch keyboard settings
The DKVM-IP8 switch settings for the host's keyboard type have to be corrected in order to
make the remote keyboard work properly. Check the settings in the DKVM-IP8 switch
front-end.
See section 6.4.3 in details.
4.1.3.2 Remote Mouse Settings
A common problem with KVM devices is the synchronization between the local and remote
mouse cursors. The DKVM-IP8 switch addresses this situation with an intelligent synchroni zation
algorithm. There are two mouse modes available on the DKVM-IP8 switch.
Auto mouse speed
The automatic mouse speed mode tries to detect the speed and acceleration settings of the host
system automatically. See the section below for a more detailed explanation.
Fixed mouse speed
This mode just translates the mouse movements from the Remote Console in a way that one
pixel move will lead to n pixel moves on the remote system. This parameter n is adjustable with
the scaling. It should be noted that this works only when mouse acceleration is turned off on the
remote system.
4.1.3.3 Auto mouse speed and mouse synchronization
The automatic mouse speed mode performs the speed detection during mouse
synchronization. Whenever the mouse does not move correctly, there are two ways for
re-synchronizing local and remote mouse:
Fast Sync
The fast synchronization is used to correct a temporary, but fixed skew. Choose the option
using the Remote Console options menu or press the mouse synchronization hotkey
sequence in case you defined one.
