The USB keyboard is automatically detected by the Axel thin client.
The USB keyboard settings (nationality, LED initialization...) are displayed and can be changed in
the AX3000’s General Parameters. For more information see Chapter 3.2.1.
Note : multiple keyboards (USB and/or PS2) can be connected. The same settings are used for
