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

that is called scan code. The two common scan code sets (sets 2 and 3) contain dif-

ferent scan codes.

The FIBREVision system interprets all inputs of the PS/2 keyboard with scan code set 2.

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

as expected, it is recommended to switch to scan code set 3.

How to change the setting of the scancode set:

p mode

Hotkey+Backspace

(default:

Ctrl+Backspace

) to activate the setup

mode. If the hotkey delay is active, press the key combination for seven
