Support for special keyboards

The KVM switch supports the special functions of some special keyboards.

Activate the support of such keyboards in the KVM switch.

How to (de)activate the support for special keyboards:

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 DL-MUX4 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.

NOTE:

This function can only be (de)activated in the web application.
