Inputs tab
The settings in the Inputs tab determine how keystrokes and mouse movements are handled by the VNC
Viewer. Options that control Virtual Media and hotkeys are also present here
Figure 19. VNC Viewer Options - Inputs tab
Inputs – Enabled, Disabled or Custom:
The Inputs field has three options: Enabled, Disabled and Custom. When Enabled is chosen, the Enable
keyboard input, Enable mouse input, Share clipboard with server and Enable File Transfer options are
checked. This means that keyboard, mouse and Virtual Media information are sent to the UL2-DVI. If Disabled
is chosen, the VNC Viewer will not send any of this information to the unit, and will function in a View Only
mode. Any other combination of these options will trigger the Custom option. The Enabled option is selected by
default.
Enable keyboard input:
When this option box is checked, keystrokes will be transmitted from the VNC Viewer to the UL2-DVI. If this
box is not checked, all keystrokes not pertinent to the Viewer itself are discarded.
Pass special keys directly to the server:
This option requires the Enable keyboard input option to be selected, and is disabled if it is unchecked. When
available, the option controls whether the special keys like the Windows key, the Print Screen key, and the
Alt+Tab, Alt+Escape and Ctrl+Escape key combinations are passed to the UL2-DVI, or handled locally at the
computer where the VNC Viewer is being run. If the option box is checked, the special keys are sent to the
unit, and if not, they are sent to the computer running the VNC Viewer.
Enable mouse input:
When this option box is checked, mouse motion and button presses are transmitted from the VNC Viewer to
the UL2-DVI. If the box is not checked, all mouse input is ignored.
Enable 3-button mouse emulation:
This option requires the Enable mouse input option to be selected, and is disabled if it is unchecked. When
available, the option allows emulating a 3-button mouse when using a 2-button mouse. If the option is checked,
the middle mouse button action is triggered when the left and right mouse are simultaneously pressed. It is
recommended to use a 3-button mouse instead of this feature.
