Tool Options

From the Tools menu, you can specify certain options for use with the Virtual KVM Client, including logging, setting the keyboard type, and defining hot keys for exiting Full Screen mode and Single Cursor mode.

To set the tools options:

  1. Choose Tools > Options. The Options dialog appears.
  2. Select the Enable Logging checkbox only if directed to by Technical Support. This option creates a log file in your home directory.
  3. Choose the Keyboard Type from the drop-down list (if necessary). The options include:
  4. Exit Full Screen Mode - Hotkey. When you enter Full Screen mode, the display of the target server becomes full screen and acquires the same resolution as the target server. This is the hot key used for exiting this mode.

    Note: The Exit Full Screen Hotkey is not applicable in AKC. In AKC an Exit Full Screen Mode icon akc exit full screen mode icon is displayed instead when you move the mouse to the top of screen.

  5. Exit Single Cursor Mode - Hotkey. When you enter single cursor mode, only the target server mouse cursor is visible. This is the hot key used to exit single cursor mode and bring back the client mouse cursor. Click OK.
