system and one for your local system. You must synchronize the two mouse
pointers so that the remote mouse pointer follows your local mouse
pointer. See "Synchronizing the Mouse Pointers."
Using the Video Viewer
The Video Viewer provides a user interface between the management station
and the managed server, allowing you to see the managed server’s desktop and
control its mouse and keyboard functions from your management station.
When you connect to the remote system, the Video Viewer starts in a
separate window.
The Video Viewer provides various control adjustments such as color mode,
mouse synchronization, snapshots, keyboard macros, power actions, and
access to Virtual Media. Click Help for more information on these functions.
When you start a console redirection session and the Video Viewer appears,
you may need to adjust the color mode and synchronize the mouse pointers.
