Field Description
Host Interface
In general, the USB interface is preferred because it provides superior
mouse tracking. The Host Interface drop-down provides three selections.
In the default mode, Auto, the Spider attempts to determine whether the
attached computer supports a USB keyboard/mouse. If it does, that interface
gets activated. If it does not, the Spider falls back to PS/2. If you have a USB
model Spider and the attached computer does not support USB, the system
will be view only.
On the PS/2 model Spider, select PS/2 to force the PS/2 interface or USB to
require USB. This selection has no effect on the USB model Spider.
