Setting preferences for remote control sessions

Set preferences for remote control sessions - color depth, lock mouse and keyboard and so on. Preferences can be set at an administrator-level or for individual remote sessions.

To define pagination limits on the browser-based console

Define the number of remote devices that can be displayed on a single electronic page.

On the BCM java console, at the top right corner, click Preferences.
On the Preferences window, click Tables.
Under Paging Settings, in the Table Rows per Page, enter a value that represents the number of rows displayed on a single page.

The search results for devices extend to multiple pages depending upon the value set in Table Rows per Page field. For example, if you set the Table Rows per Page value to 50 and search results fetch 60 devices, 10 devices are displayed on the second page.
