  • Page 43 B050-000 is active and passing through the incoming signal from the host system. The option Noise Filter defines how the B050-000 reacts to small changes in the video input signal. A large filter setting needs less network traffic and leads to a faster video display but small changes in some display regions may not be recog- nized immediately.
  • Page 44 Chapter 5. Usage Video Settings through the remote console Brightness Controls the brightness of the picture. Contrast Controls the contrast of the picture. Clock Defines the horizontal frequency for a video line and depends on the video mode. Different video card types may require different values here. The de- fault settings in conjunction with the auto adjustment procedure should be adequate for all common configurations.
  • Page 45 Use this option to refresh the video picture. The video data for the Remote Console is updated completely. On startup of the Remote Console, the B050-000 transmits the entire video picture from the remote host. Subsequently, the parts of the video picture that did not change are filtered and not transmitted, again.

You may select between 8 or 16 bit for Video Opti- mized/compression level 0, or between 1 and 8 bit for compression level 1 to 9. The higher the color depth, the more video information has to be captured and to be transferred.
  • Page 49 “Video Optimized”. As a general result, the data rate is reduced (less bits per color). Furthermore, the B050-000 will not have to do any video compression. In total, this will lead to less transfer time of the motion picture.

  • Page 62 Chapter 6. Menu Options Please note that Drive Redirection works on a level which is far below the operating system. That means that neither the local nor the remote operating system is aware that the drive is currently redirected, actually. This may lead to inconsistent data as soon as one of the operating systems (either from the local machine, or from the remote host) is writing data on the device.
  • Page 63 Figure 6-12. Main View Specify the parameters of the network connection (see Figure 6-12). Device This is the address (either the DNS name or the IP address) of the B050-000 you would like to connect to. Port This is the network port.

  • Page 64 Chapter 6. Menu Options Drive Selection Select the drive you would like to redirect. All available devices (drive letters) are shown here. Please note that the whole drive is shared with the remote computer, not only one partition. If you have a hard disc with more than one partition all drive letters that belong to this disc will be redirected.
  • Page 65 Chapter 6. Menu Options Write Support Figure 6-14. Selecting write support This feature may be enabled here. Write support means that the remote computer is allowed to write on your local drive. As you can imagine, this is very dangerous. If both the remote and the local system try to write data on the same device, this will certainly destroy the file system on the drive.

    However, it is possible to generate and install a new base64 x.509 certificate that is unique for a particular B050-000. In order to do that, the B050-000 is able to generate a new cryptographic key and the associated Certificate Signing Request (CSR) that needs to be certified by a certification authority (CA).
