For example, the Z key on a US keyboard is in the same location as the Y key on
a German keyboard. The
Keyboard dialog box enables you to send a different
keyboard country code than the default US setting. The specified country code
is sent to all devices attached to the SCS when they are turned on or rebooted,
and the new code is stored in the SIP.
NOTE: If a SIP is moved to a different device, the keyboard country code will need to
be reset.
Assigning Device Types
To access the OSCAR interface Devices dialog box:
Activate the OSCAR interface and click Setup > Devices to open the Devices
dialog box.
NOTE:
The Modify button is available only if a configurable switch is selected.
When the switch discovers a tiered switch, the numbering format changes from
SCS port to [SCS port]-[switch port] to accommodate each device under that
switch.
For example, if a switch is connected to SCS port 6, each device connected to it
would be numbered sequentially. The device using SCS port 6, switch port 1,
would be 06-01, the device using SCS port 6, switch port 2, would be 06-02, and
