4.2.9 Connecting To A Unix Server
OCTOPUS client can connect to an OCTOPUS server that runs on a Unix bases EOS wallboard processor
from Barco. EOS is capable of maintaining multiple simultaneous input streams and cursor images on the
wallboard: this alleviates the need to have a queuing mechanism for O
CTOPUS clients. The OCTOPUS
client remote pointer image can also be configured so that it looks different from other users on the
wallboard. This allows multiple simultaneous users to differentiate from one another.
An additional option in the
Options menu will appear when connecting to a Unix OCTOPUS server. All
other menu items are always visible!

new Pointer option in menu
The Pointer on (Xwin) Server option is only available to configure the remote pointer when connected to a
Unix host. Selecting this option, you can choose the bitmap (from a list) for the remote pointer, its
background and foreground color. The color of the text reflects the current background and foreground
colors. To change them, push the
Change button. This will spawn the Windows Color dialog. You can
select any color you desire from there.
