Remote console screen modes

Use the information in this topic to configure the remote console screen modes.

To configure the remote console screen modes, click Screen Mode .

The following menu options are available:

Full Screen
This mode fills the client desktop with the video display. Pressing the Esc key in this mode will exit full screen mode. Because the remote console menu is not visible in full screen mode, you will have to exit full screen mode to use any of the features provided by the remote console menu such as the keyboard macros.
Fit Screen
This is the default setting when the remote console is launched. In this setting, the target desktop is completely displayed without scroll bars. The aspect ratio is maintained.
Scaling Screen
With scaling enabled, the video image is sized so that the complete image is scaled to fill the console window.
Origin Screen
The video image has the same dimensions as the server end. Scroll bars are displayed if needed to allow viewing of video image areas that do not fit within the window.
Color Mode
Adjusts the color depth of the remote console window. There are two color-mode choices:
  • Color: 7, 9, 12, 15, and 23 bit
  • Grayscale: 16, 32, 64, and 128 shades
Note
Color mode adjustments are usually made if your connection to the remote server has limited bandwidth and you wish to reduce the bandwidth demand.
