4.5 Keyboard Translation
The Octopus user station allows you to use PS/2 or Sun keyboards to operate any
type of attached computer. However, when crossing platforms, certain keys will
need to be remapped in order to provide all of the functions available on the
keyboard native to that platform.
For example, if you access a Sun workstation with a PS/2 keyboard, you will notice
that the PS/2 keyboard does not have the
Stop
and
Again
keys that are on a true Sun
keyboard. But, by turning
Scroll Lock
on, the
F1
and
F2
keys on the PS/2 keyboard
function as the Sun
Stop
and
Again
keys. With
Scroll Lock
off,
F1
and
F2
function
normally.
The following table shows the translations for a PS/2 keyboard to a Sun computer.
All mapped functions will only be valid when the
Scroll Lock
is on.
