innovative virtual media function through IOGEAR’s intuitive GUI (graphical user interface).
IOGEAR’s GUI console application can be run from the GUC211V or copied on to and run from
the laptop to provide access to the target computer. The console window can be adjusted to r
the size and resolution of the target computer’s desktop by resizing the panel automatically. This
