For additional information on any aspect of KX II-101, see the accompanying KX II-101 User Guide, which can be downloaded from the Firmware and Documentation section (of Raritan's website. Step 1: Configure the Target Server For optimal bandwidth efficiency and video performance, a target server running a graphical user interface such as Windows, X-Windows, Solaris, and KDE should be configured with desktop backgrounds set to a predominantly solid, light-colored graphic. Backgrounds featuring photos or complex gradients should be avoided. Ensure that the server's video resolution and refresh rate are supported by the KX II-101, and that the signal is non-interlaced. The KX II-101 supports the following video resolutions: Resolutions 640x350 @70 Hz 720x400 @85 Hz 1024x768 @90 Hz 640x350 @85 Hz 800x600 @56 Hz 1024x768 @100 Hz 640x400 @56 Hz 800x600 @60 Hz 1152x864 @60 Hz 640x400 @84 Hz 800x600 @70 Hz 1152x864 @70 Hz 640x400 @85 Hz 800x600 @72 Hz 1152x864 @75 Hz 640x480 @60 Hz 800x600 @75 Hz 1152x864 @85 Hz 640x480 @66.6 Hz 800x600 @85 Hz 1152x870 @75.1 Hz 640x480 @72 Hz 800x600 @90 Hz 1152x900 @66 Hz 640x480 @75 Hz 800x600 @100 Hz 1152x900 @76 Hz 640x480 @85 Hz 832x624 @75.1 Hz 1280x960 @60 Hz 640x480 @90 Hz 1024x768 @60 Hz 1280x960 @85 Hz 640x480 @100 Hz 1024x768 @70 Hz 1280x1024 @60 Hz 640x480 @120 Hz 1024x768 @72 Hz 1280x1024 @75 Hz 720x400 @70 Hz 1024x768 @75 Hz 1280x1024 @85 Hz 720x400 @84 Hz 1024x768 @85 Hz 1600x1200 @60 Hz Mouse Modes The KX II-101 operates in several mouse modes: Absolute Mouse Synchronization™, Intelligent Mouse mode and Standard Mouse mode. Note: Do not use an animated mouse while using Intelligent Mouse mode. Mouse parameters do not have to be altered for Absolute Mouse Synchronization. For both the Standard and Intelligent Mouse modes, mouse parameters must be set to specific values, which are described in this section. Mouse configurations will vary on different target operating systems. Consult your OS documentation for additional details. Windows 2000 Settings * To configure the mouse: 1. Choose Start > Control Panel > Mouse. 2. On the Motion tab, set the acceleration to None and set the mouse motion speed setting to exactly the middle speed. Click OK. * To disable transition effects: 1. Select the Display option from Control Panel. 2. On the Effects tab, deselect the Use the following transition effect for menus and tooltips checkbox. Click OK. Windows XP and Windows 2003 Settings * To configure the mouse: 1. Select Start > Control Panel > Mouse. 2.

Fade out menu items after clicking 4. Click OK. Linux Settings On a target server running Linux® graphical interfaces, set the mouse acceleration to exactly 1 and set threshold to exactly 1. Enter the command xset mouse 1 1. Ensure that a target server running Linux is using a resolution supported by the KX II-101 at a standard VESA resolution and refresh rate. A Linux target server should also be set so the blanking times are within +/- 40% of VESA standard values. * To check for these parameters: 1. Go to the Xfree86 Configuration file XF86Config. 2. Using a text editor, disable all non-KX II-101 supported resolutions. 3. Disable the virtual desktop feature, which is not supported by the KX II-101. 4. Check blanking times (+/- 40% of VESA standard). 5. Restart the computer. Note: In many Linux graphical environments, the command Ctrl+Alt+ + (plus sign) changes the video resolution, scrolling through all available resolutions that remain enabled in the XF86Config file. Sun Solaris Settings Set the mouse acceleration value to exactly 1 and the threshold to exactly 1. A target server running the Solaris operating system must output VGA video (H-and-V sync, not composite sync). Set this at the graphical user interface...
