Keyboard Operating Platform
The CS82U / CS84U’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 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 keyboard. The procedure is as follows:
1. Bring the KVM focus to the port you want to set.
2. Invoke HSM (see page 17)
3. Press and release the appropriate Function key (see table below). After
completing this procedure, you automatically exit HSM.
