Target Computer Setup
Setting up the target computer involves ensuring that the video resolution and refresh rates are
correct for the target computer monitor; that the mouse-to-cursor movement is sync’d properly;
that the Telnet/SSH connections match the Spider; and, that the cable connections are correct.
Each of these items are discussed in more detail in the following:
 Video Resolutions and Refresh Rates Configuration
 Mouse-to-Cursor Synchronization
 Telnet/SSH Connections to Serial Ports
 Cable Connections for KVM and USB
Video Resolutions and Refresh Rates Configuration
The Spider recognizes video resolutions on the target computer up to a maximum of 1600 x 1200
at 60 Hz if its hardware revision G22, G23, E21 or higher. If the Spider hardware is an earlier
revision, it will only support up to 1280 x 1024 resolution at 60 Hz. For the complete list of
supported video resolutions and refresh rates, see C: Supported Resolutions and Refresh Rates
on page 127.
Note: The other supported resolutions and refresh rates are recognized by the Spider,
but could be difficult if the timing does not comply with the extended display identification
data (EDID) standard that Spider supports.
Perform the following steps to configure the video resolution and refresh rate.
 Windows Server
1. Select Control Panel > Display > Settings. Modify the screen resolution value as required.
2. Select Control Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced > Monitor. Modify the screen
refresh rate. Because the server video card is driving the Spider and not a monitor, a refresh
rate higher than 60 Hz has no effect.
 Linux Server
1. Edit the Xfree86 file “XF86Config” to disable formats that are not supported or not VESA
standard timing.
