This Viewer Connection Settings page allows you to configure settings proper to the viewer itself, including the name as it appears on the title bar of the viewer window, the keyboard layout that will assume as to be consistent with the one you use on the client side, the biggest resolution support, the mouse re-sync hotkey sequence, and also the very convenient and useful feature for anyone who uses double-byte language such as Chinese, Japanese or Korean (the CJK languages) and some other languages.
After you have made all modifications, click Store Settings to save your settings and then hit Apply Settings/Restart Servers to validate these new settings. Every change you have made on this page will NOT apply until you hit Apply Settings/Restart Servers!

Server name for Viewers: Enter here the server name you chose for the Video Server on the , and it will appear on the title bar of your Viewer window.
Keyboard Layout: Choose the keyboard layout for the according to the real keyboard you are using on the remote login client. Choosing the correct keyboard layout for your keyboard is very important since some key codes are represented by different key locations in different keyboard layout. And a correct keyboard layout setting ensures that you will have a matching keycode output on the server side as what you have input on the physical keyboard from the client computer side. The default keyboard layout is the US keyboard (US). The supports more than 60 types of keyboards all over the world.
Largest Possible Screen: The supports a maximum resolution up to 1600 x 1200 pixel dimension. Normally, if you select the biggest resolution support of 1600 x 1200, it will be most accommodating to all display resolution requirements. However, you can still select a smaller workable resolution for your display device. If you choose a smaller resolution, you have to be aware that any screen larger than what you specify here will not be shown on the viewer. The supports resolutions as follows:
Refer to the Video Mode Database page for more detailed information about the refresh rate support.
can detect a special sequence of keystrokes when you type on your remote keyboard. This special sequence is used to ask to resynchronize the local and the remote mouse cursors in a fast and convenient way. For example, it is faster to type CTLR–CTLR–Home on the keyboard than to use the mouse and select a command into a menu. For compatibility with higher devices, this command is divided in two parts called Viewer Hot Keys and Mouse Resynchronization Key.
Please be aware that the Viewer Hot Keys are transmitted to the KVM or server attached to the . On the contrary, the Mouse Resynchronization Key is eaten by the . Thus, because the Viewer Hot Keys are transmitted, they must be as harmless as possible. Viewer Hot Keys such as NumLock-NumLock, Scrlk-Scrlk or Ctrl-Ctrl can work because they produce generally no effect. On the contrary, the Mouse Resynchronization Key can be anything since it is not transmitted by TKIP-101.
The Hot Keys can be configured to fit your needs. To find out the key positions on a standard keyboard, please refer to the Keyboard Drawing.
Note 1: The Viewer Hot Keys are transmitted to the KVM attached. Thus they must be chosen so that they don't interfere with the KVM hot keys.
Note 2: If you are running the Java viewer on Mac OS, you might find that the default mouse resynchronization sequence – CTLR-CTLR-Home - does not work. That is because the Right Control key on Mac keyboard sends out a different key code as the PC keyboard. If that is the case, you might consider to configure your Hot Keys as for example, CTLL-CTLL and S.
Viewer Hot Keys: Enter here your preferred keystroke sequence that will serve as Viewer Hot Keys. By default this is CTLR–CTLR, in other words, two consecutive keystrokes of the Right Ctrl key (CTLR). Please note that this is NOT the Left Control key (CTLL).
Mouse Resynchronize Key: This is the only command supported by TKIP-101. It permits to synchronize the local and the remote mouse cursors. By default this is the HOME key . Thus by default you have to hit CTLR–CTLR–HOME to synchronize the remote and the local mouse cursors.
This feature makes compatible with double-byte languages such as Chinese, Japanese or Korean. When using the viewer, if the remote computer and/ or your local computer is running a double-byte system, just type Alt and then Shift or Ctrl and then Shift sequentially instead of simultaneously to produce the same effects as usually.
Enable Hot-Keys Transparent Mode: Check this option if you are using double-byte language inputs on the local and/or the remote computer to facilitate switching between single-byte and double-byte inputs. Leave this option disabled if you don’t use any double-byte language.
