Mouse Synchronization Modes - D-Link DKVM-IP1 User Manual

There are two mouse speed modes available on the DKVM-IP1:
Auto mode
The auto mouse speed mode tries to detect the speed and acceleration settings of the

speed – Auto" mode is disabled, "Fixed scaling" is active and set to 4, although a setting
of 1 might work better on some computers.
Fixed scaling mode
This mode translates the mouse movements from the Remote computer so that one pixel

"n" is adjustable (see screenshot above). Please note that this works only when mouse
acceleration settings are turned off on the Host computer. See the previous note for
instructions on how to do this on different editions of Windows.

your mouse pointer will be "captured", and all mouse movement will be inside the Host
Console window only. In order to "free" the Remote computer's mouse pointer, you will
