Mouse handling - The submenu for mouse handling offers 3 options for 
synchronizing the host and the client mouse pointer - explained on pages 14 and 
16. The option for 'Fast Sync' shows the hotkey if you defined one using the 
Remote Console Settings. 
Local cursor - Choose a cursor shape for the host mouse. The number of 
available shapes depends on the Java Virtual Machine, only version 1.2 or higher 
offers the full list. 
Chat Window - Opens the Chat window 
Video Settings – To adjust the video settings. 
Refresh video - Refreshes the video 
Soft Keyboard - Opens the soft-keyboard menu: 
•  Click Show. The soft-keyboard appears. 
•  Click Layout. Choose layout 
•  Click Mapping. Choose the desired language and country 
Local Keyboard - Used to change the language mapping of your browser 
machine running the Remote Console Applet. Normally the Applet determines the 
correct value automatically. However, depending on your particular JVM and 
your browser machine settings this is not always possible. A typical example is a 
German localized system that uses a US-English keyboard mapping. In this case 
you have to change the Local Keyboard setting manually to the right language. 
KVM keys – Each key represents a port. See page 26 to define hotkeys to switch 
to each port. The keys also appear in the toolbar. 
Hotkeys - Button Keys simulate keystrokes on the remote system that cannot be 
generated locally. To define hotkeys see page 18. 
Encoding – Choose the desired options from the Compression and Color Depth 
drop down menus.  
Information bar - Shows the console and connection state and remote screen 
size. The value in round brackets describes the connection to the remote system: 
Norm stands for a standard connection without encryption; SSL stands for a 
secured connection. Double click the bar to see a history of all the status 
information. 
The Chat window 
Use the Chat window to chat with others logged into the system. Figure 7 
illustrates the Chat window.
