Keyboard translation
The AMX user station allows you to use PS/2 or USB keyboards to operate any type of attached
target device. However, when crossing platforms, certain keys will need to be remapped in order to
provide all of the functions available on the keyboard native to that platform.
For example, if you access a Sun workstation with a PS/2
keyboard, you will notice that the PS/2
keyboard does not have the
Stop and Again keys that are on a true Sun keyboard. By enabling the
Scroll Lock mode by pressing
Ctrl-Alt-Shift and Scroll Lock at the same time, the F1 and F2 keys
on the PS/2 keyboard function as the Sun
Stop and Again keys. With Scroll Lock mode disabled,
F1 and F2 function normally.
NOTE: The Scroll Lock LED blinks if the mode is enabled.
Table 3.3 shows the translations for a PS/2 keyboard to a Sun server. All mapped functions will
only be valid when the Scroll Lock mode is enabled.
