3. Set the Color Depth.
Devices can dynamically adapt the color depth transmitted to remote
users in order to maximize usability in all bandwidths. Select from
among the options in the drop-down list. Depending on the Raritan
device in use, different options may be available:
 15-bit RGB Color
 8-bit RGB Color
 4-bit Color
 4-bit Gray
 3-bit Gray
 2-bit Gray
 Black and White
Important: For most administrative tasks (server monitoring,
reconfiguring, and so forth), administrators do not require the full 24-
bit or 32-bit color spectrum made available by most video graphics
cards. Attempting to transmit such high color depths wastes network
bandwidth.
4. Select Progressive Update to increase the usability in constrained
bandwidth environments. When Progressive Update is enabled, the
device initially sends an image of the remote desktop at lower color
depths. Higher color depth images are provided as the bandwidth
allows.
Note: When Color Depth is set to Auto Select Color (default),
Progressive Update is automatic. The device will enable/disable
Progressive Update as required, disabling it for fast connections and
enabling it for slow connections.
5. Selecting the Internet Flow Control checkbox ensures that packets
transmitted by the device are received and reconstructed by the
client application in the correct order. This is useful when using a
device over an unpredictable public WAN (particularly in international
scenarios).
6. Use the slider to select the desired level of video Smoothing (15-bit
mode only). The level determines how aggressively to blend page
regions with small color variation into a single, smooth color.
Smoothing improves the appearance of the target video by reducing
the video noise that is displayed.
