Host system mouse settings  
The host operating system has various settings for the mouse driver. Smart 16 IP 
works with accelerated mice and is able to synchronize the host with the client 
mouse pointer. This is further discussed on page 14. 
The following may prevent proper mouse synchronization. 
Special vendor-specific Mouse drivers disrupt the synchronization process. 
Ensure these are not on the host system  
Windows XP has a setting ' enhanced pointer precision’. Deactivate it. 
Check the correct setting by moving the mouse of your administration system to 
the upper left corner of the Remote Console and moving it there slightly forth and 
back. This will force mouse synchronization in that corner of the screen. Once 
that is done you may observe the behavior of your client mouse in accordance to 
the host one. If both mice desynchronize quickly one of the above may be the 
reason.  
6. Smart 16 IP Video Modes  
Smart 16 IP recognizes a limited number of common video modes. When running 
X-Window on the host system, don't use any custom modelines with special video 
modes. If you do, Smart 16 IP may not be able to detect these. Use any standard 
VESA video mode. Refer to Appendix A on page 79 for a list of all known 
modes.  
You can adjust up to 4 Custom Video Modes if your video mode differs from the 
standard VESA video mode. 
Set the Custom Video Modes in the Video settings section. 
7. Operating the Smart 16 IP system  
Operate the Smart 16 IP system through one of the following interfaces:  
1. HTTP/HTTPS - Any standard Web browser. Depending on the Web browser, 
you can access the Smart 16 IP card using the unsecured HTTP protocol or, in 
case the browser supports it, the encrypted HTTPS protocol. We recommend 
using HTTPS when possible.  
2. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) - Any standard SNMP client 
can use this protocol. 
3. Telnet - Use a standard Telnet client to access an arbitrary device connected to 
one of the Smart 16 IP's serial ports via a terminal mode.
