Advanced Operation

The APC KVM Switch allows you to use PS/2 or Sun keyboards to operate any

type of attached computer. 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. But, by turning Scroll Lock on,

the F1 and F2 keys on the PS/2 keyboard function as the Sun STOP and AGAIN

keys. With Scroll Lock off, F1 and F2 function normally. Table 1 below shows

the translations for a PS/2 keyboard to a Sun computer. All mapped functions in

Table 1 will only be valid when the Scroll Lock is on.
