maintenance, Mouse Point also incorporates features for
updating the firmware on K4u

switches and managing
screensavers on attached computers. (Administrators can
specify which features are available to ordinary users.)

Configuration utility on the host PC to create a configuration file
that you upload to the K4u

.
Note the following requirements:
■ Operating System: For Mouse Point 2.10, the host PC must
be running Windows XP or later. 32-bit and 64-bit systems
are both supported.
■ Attaching and removing the host PC: The Mouse Point host
PC does not need to be permanently attached to the K4u
