CHAPTER 2: I NSTALLATION 5Chapter 2: InstallationConfiguring Target ServersBefore installing IP-Reach, first configure any target servers that you wish to access via IP-Reach, in orderto ensure optimum performance, as outlined below. Note that the following configuration requirementsapply only to target servers, not to the computers that you will be using to access IP-Reach remotely (seeChapter 1: Introduction, Terminology).Server Video ResolutionFor optimal bandwidth efficiency and video performance, target servers running graphical user interfacessuch as Windows, X-Windows, Solaris, and KDE should be configured with desktop backgrounds set to apredominantly solid, light-colored graphic. Backgrounds featuring photos or complex gradients should beavoided.Ensure that the server’s video resolution and refresh rate are supported by IP-Reach, and that the signal isnon-interlaced. IP-Reach supports the following video resolutions:Text Modes640x480 @ 60Hz640x480 @ 72Hz640x480 @ 75Hz640x480 @ 85Hz800x600 @ 56Hz800x600 @ 60Hz800x600 @ 72Hz800x600 @ 75Hz800x600 @ 85Hz1024x768 @ 60Hz1024x768 @ 70Hz1024x768 @ 75Hz1024x768 @ 85Hz1152x864 @ 60Hz1152x864 @ 75Hz1280x1024 @ 60HzWindows XP SettingsOn target servers running Microsoft Windows XP, disable the “Enhanced Pointer Precision” option, and setthe mouse motion speed exactly to the middle speed setting. These parameters are found in Control Panel→ Mouse → Mouse Pointers.Note: For Target Servers running Windows NT, 2000, or XP, you may wish to create a username to beused only for remote connections through IP-Reach. This allows you to keep the Target Server’s slowmouse pointer motion/acceleration settings exclusive to the IP-Reach connection only, as other users maydesire faster mouse speeds.Note: Windows XP and 2000 login screens revert to pre-set mouse parameters that differ from thosesuggested for optimal IP-Reach performance; therefore, mouse sync will not be optimal at these screens. Ifyou are comfortable adjusting the registry on Windows target servers, you can obtain better IP-Reachmouse synchronization at login screens by using the Windows registry editor to change the followingsettings: Default user mouse motion speed = 0; mouse threshold 1= 0; mouse threshold 2 = 0.Windows 2000 / ME SettingsOn target servers running Microsoft Windows 2000 / ME, set the mouse pointer acceleration to “none” andthe mouse motion speed exactly to the middle speed setting. These parameters are found in Control Panel→ Mouse.Windows 95 / 98 / NT SettingsOn target servers running Microsoft Windows 95 / 98 / NT, set the mouse motion speed to the slowestsetting in Control Panel → Mouse → Motion.
