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 DL-Compact system system 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 scancode set settings:
1. Use the terminal emulation program to establish a connection to the KVM system.
