Changing the scancode set of a PS/2 keyboard

If a key is pressed on the PS/2 keyboard, the keyboard processor sends a data packet

called scancode. There are two common scancode sets (sets 2 and 3) that contain

different scancodes.

In the standard configuration, the KVM extender interprets all PS/2 keyboard

inputs with the scancode set 2.

If the pipe (“|”) cannot be input or if the arrow keys of the keyboard do not function

as expected, it is recommended to switch to scancode set 3.

How to change the settings of the scancode set:
