AX3000 Models 90 - User's Manual 219
- Xvnc V4: the mouse cursor is handled by the AX3000. With a low-
bandwidth, this allows the mouse cursor to be more reactive.
- Emulate a 3-button Mouse: if 'yes', the mouse middle button is emulated
by clicking both left and right buttons.
- Mouse Sensitivity: This setting varies the sample rate of the mouse. If
the sensitivity is increased the mouse movement will be more fluid, but
also network activity is increased.
8.3 - CONTROLLING PRINTERS
Auxiliary ports (2 serial and 1 parallel), logical USB ports and network printer
ports are provided by the AX3000. These ports are independently controlled so
multiple printers can be attached to the AX3000.
A printer is generally controlled by a network service:
- tty protocol: this is an Axel proprietary protocol. A printer controlled by
the tty protocol is seen as a local printer.
- LPD protocol: this service (RFCs 1048 and related) is provided as a
standard feature by major operating systems (Unix/Linux, Windows, etc.).
The main benefit of this protocol is an LPD printer can be shared by
different operating systems.
- rsh command: this command allows the contents of a file to be
redirected over the network.
In addition, a printer can also be controlled in "transparent mode" (by embedded
escape sequences, like a printer attached to a serial terminal).
The following covers the tty protocol, the rsh command and the transparent
mode. For more information about LPD printers, refer to Appendix A.3.
8.3.1 - The tty Protocol
The tty server is an Axel proprietary protocol. An additional piece of software is
needed (see Chapter 8.4).
