vary

 

depending

 

on

 

the

 

operating

 

system

 

in

 

use:

 

v

   

Windows

 

Server

 

2003:

 

Using

 

the

 

number-lock

 

button

 

bar

 

icon

 

has

 

no

 

effect

 

on

 

the

 

signals

 

that

 

are

 

sent

 

to

 

the

 

server

 

from

 

the

 

numeric-keypad

 

keys

 

of

 

the

 

client.

 

The

 

numeric

 

keypad

 

behavior

 

is

 

controlled

 

solely

 

by

 

the

 

Num

 

Lock

 

key

 

on

 

the

 

client

 

keyboard.

 

v

   

SuSE

 

Linux

 

Enterprise

 

Server

 

8

 

(SLES8):

 

When

 

the

 

number-lock

 

function

 

is

 

turned

 

on

 

at

 

both

 

the

2.1

 

for

 

IPF:

 

When

 

the

 

number-lock

 

function

 

is

 

turned

 

on

 

at

 

both

 

the

 

client

 

and

 

server,

 

incorrect

 

characters

 

are

 

sent

 

when

 

you

 

press

 

the

Otherwise,

 

the

 

action

 

signals

 

(Home,

 

PgUp,

 

and

 

so

 

on)

 

are

 

sent.

Solution:

 

Avoid

 

using

 

the

 

numeric

 

keypad

 

when

 

running

 

any

 

version

 

of

 

Linux.

 

Instead,

 

use

regular

 

keyboard

 

keys.

 

You

 

can

 

use

 

the

 

numeric

 

keypad

 

when

 

running

 

Windows,

 

but

 

only

 

the

 

number-lock

 

state

 

at

 

the

 

client

 

has

 

any

 

effect.
