D-Link DKVM-IP1 User Manual page 84


Default Java-VM
This viewer uses the default Java Virtual Machine (JVM) of your Browser. This may be the
Microsoft JVM for Internet Explorer, or the Sun JVM if the browser is configured to use it
by default. Use of the Sun JVM may also be forced manually (see below).

Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plugin
This viewer instructs the web browser that your GUI is running on to use the Sun
Microsystems Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The JVM in the browser is used to run the
code for the Host Console window, which is actually a Java Applet. If you check this box
for the first time on your administration system, and if the appropriate Java plug-in is not
already installed on your system, it will be downloaded and installed automatically.
However, in order to make the installation possible, you still need to instruct your browser
to download and install the plugin, usually through prompts that will appear, and an 11 MB
plugin will need to be downloaded. (The DKVM-IP1 will provide a link to the JVM plugin if
the Remote computer does not already have it installed. The user could also install the
latest Java software later, if needed.)
The advantage of downloading Sun's JVM is that it provides a stable and identical
experience across different platforms. The Host Console software is optimized for this
JVM version and offers a wider range of functionality when run in Sun's JVM. Please
make sure that you install Sun JVM 1.5 or above in your client system.
Miscellaneous Host Console Settings

Start in Monitor Mode
This setting sets the initial value for the Monitor Only mode. By default, Monitor Only mode
is off. If you enable this setting, the Host Console window will open in view-only mode.

Start in Exclusive Access Mode
If you enable this setting, the Host Console will start in Exclusive Access mode. This
means that the Host Console windows of all other users will be forced to close if this user
opens the Host Console for the DKVM-IP1 on his or her computer. No one else can open
the DKVM-IP1's Host Console window until this user disables Exclusive Access mode or
logs off.
