Step 6. Configure the computer keyboard/mouse type
6.1a If your UltraView is for PCs and Unix computers, you have a
choice between three PC keyboard types: PC1 (some IBM PCs), PC2
(most PCs), and PC3 (Unix computers). You have a choice between
two mouse types: PS/2 or serial. Configure the mouse type for serial if
you have a PS/2 mouse and a serial computer, otherwise leave it at
PS/2.
6.1b If your UltraView is for Sun or Apple computers, this step does not
apply, your keyboard, mouse, and CPUs are already configured and
functional, skip to step 7.
6.1c If your UltraView is for multiple platforms, you have a choice be-
tween five keyboard types: PC1 (some IBM PCs), PC2 (most PCs),
PC3 (Unix computers), Apple, or Sun. You have a choice between
four mouse types: PS/2, serial-2( 2-button), serial-3 (three button), or
serial-8 (rarely used). You must configure the mouse for the correct
type.
6.2 To configure a computer’s keyboard or mouse type, press and release
left ctrl and then F12 to access the on-screen configuration menus.
Use the down arrow to highlight
Configure computers
. Hit the enter
key. Use the arrow keys to point to the keyboard and mouse fields. Hit
enter to bring up a window that shows possible types. Use the arrows
to highlight which type of keyboard or mouse type and hit the enter key
to choose the selection. Configure as many computers as desired.
If you have several PCs with mixed keyboard modes and you don’t
want to individually have to configure them, just boot all the computers
and let the UltraView learn the mode for each one.
If a computer uses a PS/2 mouse and the computer was already
booted when connecting the switch, then the mouse must be enabled
for each of these computers. Enable the mouse by selecting PS/2
mouse for each computer (even if it was already selected) or by using
the reset command, described on page 30. You can also boot the
computer to enable the mouse. See page 15 and 22 for more informa-
tion.
6.3 Hit escape to go back to the main configuration page. Hit escape to
exit the configuration menu. Use the down arrow to select yes to save
the changes in flash memory. Hit enter. Your keyboard and mouse
should be active on all computers configured. See page 21 for more
information.
