Target Computer Setup
Setting up the target computer involves ensuring that the video resolution and refresh rates are
correct for the taget 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
Power Sequencing
Video Resolutions and Refresh Rates Configuration
The SpiderDuo recognizes video resolutions on the target computer up to a maximum of 1600 x
1200 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
SpiderDuo, but could be difficult if the timing does not comply with the extended display
identification data (EDID) standard that SpiderDuo 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 SpiderDuo 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.
2. Reboot is required.
Notes:
Background wallpaper and desktop appearances do not have any particular limitations.
