Resetting the PS/2 Mouse

If your PS/2 mouse locks up, you can re-establish operation of these peripherals by
issuing a reset command. The reset command sends a key sequence to the server,
which causes the mouse settings to be sent to the console switch. With
communication reestablished between the server and the console switch,
functionality is restored to the user.

NOTE: This function is for Microsoft Windows-based computers only. Resetting the PS/2 on a
computer running any other operating system might require that you reboot that computer.

To reset the PS/2 mouse values:

1. Press the Print Scrn key. The Main dialog box is displayed.

2. Click Commands. The Commands dialog box is displayed.

3. Click Reset PS/2. A warning is displayed.

4. Click OK. A message disappears, indicating that the mouse has been reset.

5. Click X or press the Esc key to exit without sending a reset command to the

PS/2 mouse.
