Advanced Operation

Keyboard Translat ion

The KVM Switch allows you to use PS/2 or Sun keyboards to operate any type of

attached computer. However, when crossing platforms, certain keys will need to be

“remapped” in order to provide all of the functions available on the keyboard native

to that platform. For example, if you access a Sun workstation with a PS/2 keyboard,

you will notice that the PS/2 keyboard does not have the STOP and AGAIN keys that

are on a true Sun keyboard. But, by turning Scro ll Loc k on, the F1 and F2 keys on

the PS/2 keyboard function as the Sun STOP and AGAI N keys. With Sc roll Loc k

off, F1 and F2 function normally. The table below shows the translations for a PS/2

keyboard to a Sun computer. All mapped functions in the table will only be valid when

the Sc roll Loc k is on.

Sun keyboards have a p o we r key used to power the workstation on and off. PS/2

keyboards may have a sl e e p key to place the computer in a stand-by or power

saving mode.
