Figure 6-14. User Console Settings (Part 1)
User select box
This selection box displays the user ID for which the values are shown and for which the
changes will take effect. You may change the settings of other users if you have the necessary
access rights.
Transmission Encoding
The Transmission Encoding setting allows changing the image-encoding algorithm that is used to
transmit the video data to the Remote Console window. It is possible to optimize the speed of
the remote screen depending on the number of users working at the same time and the
bandwidth of the connection line (Modem, ISDN, DSL, LAN, etc.).
Automatic detection
The encoding and the compression level is determined automatically from the available
bandwidth and the current content of the video image.
Pre-configured
The pre-configured settings deliver the best result because of optimized adjustment
of compression and colour depth for the indicated network speed.
Manually
Allows to adjust both compression rate and the colour depth individually. Depending
on the selected compression rate the data stream between the DKVM-IP8 switch and the
Remote Console will be compressed in order to save bandwidth. Since high compression rates
are very time consuming, they should not be used while several users are accessing the
DKVM-IP8 switch simultaneo usly.
The standard color depth is 16 Bit (65536 colors). The other color depths are intended for slower
network connections in order to allow a faster transmission of data. Therefore compression level
0 (no compression) uses only 16 Bit color depth.
At lower bandwidths only 4 Bit (16 colors) and 2 Bit (4 gray scales) are recommended
for typical desktop interfaces. Photo -like pictures have best results with 4 Bit (16 gray scales). 1
Bit color depth (black/white) should only be used for extremely slow
network connections.
Remote Console Type
Specifies, which Remote Console Viewer to use. Default Java-VM
Uses the default Java Virtual Machine of your Browser. This may be the Microsoft JVM for
the Internet Explorer, or the Sun JVM if it is configured this way. Use of the Sun JVM may also
