The serial IQ module prevents a serial break from the attached device if the module loses
power. However, a user can generate a serial break with the attached device by pressing Alt-B
after accessing the Terminal Applications menu.
Adjusting Mouse Settings on Target Devices
Before a computer connected to the DSR switch can be used for remote user control, you must
set the target mouse speed and turn off acceleration. For machines running Microsoft
®
Windows
®
(Windows NT
®
, 2000, XP, Server 2003), use the default PS/2 mouse driver.
To ensure that the local mouse movement and remote cursor display remain in sync, mouse
acceleration must be set to “none” for all user accounts accessing a remote system through a
KVM switch. Mouse acceleration must also be set to “none” on every remote system. Special
cursors should not be used and cursor visibility options, such as pointer trails, Ctrl key cursor
location animations, cursor shadowing and cursor hiding, should also be turned off.
For more information about setting mouse movement and cursor features for use with Avocent
hardware products and DSView 3 software, please visit www.avocent.com and consult the
Mouse and Pointer Settings guide.
NOTE: If you are not able to disable mouse acceleration from within a Windows operating system, or if you do not
wish to adjust the settings of all your target devices, newer versions of the DSView 3 software include the Tools -
Single Cursor Mode command available in the Video Viewer window. This command places the Video Viewer
window into an “invisible mouse” mode which allows you to manually toggle control between the mouse pointer on
the target system being viewed and the mouse pointer on the client server running DSView 3 software.
