Sun/Mac Keyboard Mapping
The KVM Switch emulates a Sun Keyboard when a computer is marked with
a Sun, in the OSD menu by Function Key <F5>. A Sun keyboard has more keys
than a standard PC keyboard. These extra keys are simulated by tapping the Right
<CTRL> button, which is normally located on the right lower part of the keyboard,
followed by one of the function keys on the general keyboard (i.e. combo key). For
example, tap the Right <CTRL> key, and then tap the function key <F7> to activate
Open for a Sun computer.
NOTE: For older Sun Operating Systems, the switch does not support the Low Power
option under Power Off Select.
For keystroke emulation of Sun/Mac computers, please refer to the above chart and
conduct the following two examples:
“Stop A” function in Sun: Press right <CTRL> and release, then within two seconds
press <F1> and <A> in sequence.
“Help” function in Sun: Press right <CTRL> and release, then within 2 seconds, press <H>.
