KEYBOARD COMMAND SUMMARY

To enter any keyboard command, first press and release the left Control Key,

represented by <Ctrl>. Then enter the command followed by any parameters

you wish to specify, for example the computer number.

Letter commands are not case sensitive, and are shown in upper case for clarity

only.

Do not use the numeric keypad to enter any commands.

All Vista Mini commands use a two second time-out between characters, to

abort the command. This is a feature that restores the keyboard to normal oper-

ation, so the keyboard is not put it into a command mode which might lock it up

from normal operation.

The <Ctrl> character is always passed through to the CPU. The command

characters and command operands, however, are absorbed by the Vista Mini

and not sent to the CPU.
