AOC-SIMLC/SIMLC+ User's Guide

1. User Console: Click on this icon to activate the User Console submenu.

2. User Selection: This ﬁ eld allows you to decide which group the user belongs to.

Click on the arrow on the right to activate the selection menu and highlight the name of the group to select it.

3. Update: Once you've selected the group name, click on Update to save the selections.

4. Transmission Encoding: This ﬁ eld allows the user to decide how (the video) data is transmitted between the local system and the remote host.

5. Automatic Detection: Select this option to allow the OS to automatically detect the networking conﬁ guration settings such as the bandwidth of the connection line, and transmit data accordingly. (You can only select one item from #5, #6 and #8.)

6. Pre-conﬁ gured: This item allows the user to select the data transmission setting from a pre-deﬁ ned options list. The pre-conﬁ gured settings will provide the best result because the compression and color depth settings will be adjusted for optimization based on the network speed indicated. (You can only select one item from #5, #6 and #8.)

7. Network speed: Once you've selected the pre-conﬁ gured option above, you then can select a desired network speed setting from the selection menu by clicking on the arrow on the right.

8. Manually: You can select a desired network speed setting from the selection menu by clicking on the arrow on the right. This item allows the user to adjust both compression and color depth settings individually. (You can only select one item from #5, #6 and #8.)

9. Compression: Data signal transmission is compressed to save bandwidth. High compression rates will slow down network interfacing and shall not be used when several users are connected to the network.

10. Color Depth: Click on the arrow on the right to select either 16 bit-high colors or 8 bit-256 colors. The standard color depth is 16 bit-high color. This setting is recommended for compression level 0. For typical desktop interfaces, the setting of 8 bit-256 colors is recommended for faster data transmission.

11. Remote Console Type: This ﬁ eld allows the user to decide which Remote Console Viewer to use.

12. Default Java VM (JVM): Select this option to use the default Java Virtual Machine of your web browser. This can be the Microsoft JVM for Internet Explorer or the Sun JVM depending on the conﬁ guration of your browser.

13. Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plugin: Select this option when the JVM used to run the code for the Remote Console is a Java Applet. If you use this function for the ﬁ rst time and the appropriate Java plugin is not yet installed in your system, you may download and install it automatically. To download and install it, you need to check "yes" in the dialogs. Downloading Sun's JVM will allow you to use a stable and identical JVM across different platforms. (Note: If your internet connection is slow, please pre-install the JVM on your administration machine.)

15. Start in Monitor Mode: Check this box to enable the Start in Monitor Mode which will allow data to be displayed in the remote monitor as soon as Remote Con

sole is activated. (The data displayed in the remote monitor is ready-only.)

16. Start in Exclusive Access Mode: Check this box to enable the exclusive ac

cess mode immediately at Remote Console startup, which will force all other users connected to the network to close. No other users can open the Remote Console until you disable this function or log off.

17. Mouse Hotkey: This option allows you to use a hotkey combination to specify the mouse synchronization mode or the single mouse mode.

18. Hotkey: Enter a hotkey combination in the box to specify the mouse synchronization mode or the single mouse mode.

19. Remote Console Button Keys: This window allows the user to deﬁne button keys for the remote host. The button keys allow simulating keystrokes on a remote host or issuing commands to a remote system. The button keys are needed when you have a missing key or when you want to prevent interference caused to the local system. After a remote console button key is set, it will appear on the right upper corner of the remote monitor screen as shown in the graphics below. (For details instructions in creating button keys, please click on the link-"Click here for Help.")
