Setting the keyboard country code
NOTE: Using a keyboard code that supports a language different from that of your LCM8/LCM16 switch firmware
will cause incorrect keyboard mapping.
By default, the LCM8/LCM16 switch sends the US keyboard country code to USB modules
attached to devices, and the code is applied to the devices when they are turned on or rebooted.
Codes are then stored in the CO cable.
Issues may arise when you use the US keyboard country code with a keyboard of another country.
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 LCM8/LCM16
switches when they are turned on or rebooted, and the new code is stored in the CO cable.
NOTE: If a CO cable is moved to a different device, the keyboard country code will need to be reset.
Configuring network settings
Use the Network dialog box to set the Network Speed, Transmission Mode, and Network
Configuration feature.
