Support of special keyboards
The KVM extender supports special functions of some special keyboards.
Enable the support of such keys if you want to use them at the console.
How to enable or disable the support for special keyboards:
Changing the scancode set of PS/2 keyboards
If you press a key at the PS/2 keyboard, the keyboard processor sends a data packet
that is called scan code. The two common scancode sets (sets 2 and 3) contain differ-
ent scancodes.
In the default configuration, the KVM extender interprets any entry made at the
PS/2 keyboard with the scancode set 2.
Use the scancode set 3 if you cannot enter the pipe “|” or the arrow keys do not
work as expected.
