Starting the Remote Console opens an additional window. It displays the
screen content of your host system. The Remote Console will behave exactly
in the same way as if you were sitting locally in front of the screen of your
remote system. That means keyboard and mouse can be used in the usual
way. However, be aware of the fact that the remote system will react to
keyboard and mouse actions with a slight delay. The delay depends on the
bandwidth of the link to which you use to connect to the SP1200A.
In respect to the keyboard, the very exact remote representation might lead to
some confusion as your local keyboard changes its keyboard layout according
to the remote host system. If you use a German administration system, and
your host system uses a US English keyboard layout, for instance, special
keys on the German keyboard will not work as expected. Instead, the keys will
result in their US English counterpart. You can avoid such problems by
adjusting the keyboard of your remote system to the same mapping as your
local one.
The Remote Console window always tries to show the remote screen with its
optimal size. Meaning it will adapt its size to the size of the remote screen
initially and after the screen resolution of the remote screen has been changed.
However, you can always resize the Remote Console window in your local
window system as usual.
