Keyboard Operating Platform
The GCS1953’s default port configuration is for a PC compatible keyboard operating
platform. If your console uses a PC compatible keyboard and you have a Mac or Sun
attached to a port, for example, you can change the port’s keyboard operating platform
configuration so that the PC compatible keyboard emulates the Mac or Sun keyboard.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Bring the KVM focus to the port you want to set.
2. Invoke HSM (see page 22).
3. Press and release the appropriate Function key (see table below). After completing
this procedure, you automatically exit HSM.
