For example: For Stop + A, press and hold Ctrl+Shift+Alt and press Scroll Lock, then F1 + A.

These key combinations will work with the DSRIQ-USB module (if your Sun system comes with a USB port) as well as the Sun DSRIQ-VSN and DSRIQ-WSN modules. With the exception of F12, these key combinations are not recognized by Microsoft Windows. Using F12 performs a Windows key press.

When finished, press and hold Ctrl+Shift+Alt and then press the Scroll Lock key to toggle Sun Advanced Key Emulation mode off.

Special considerations for Japanese Sun USB and Korean Sun USB keyboards (DSRIQ-USB modules only)

Japanese Sun USB and Korean Sun USB keyboards assign usage IDs for certain keys that differ from standard USB usage IDs. If DSRIQ-USB modules are attached to your Sun servers, the Han/ Zen and Katakana/Hiragana keys on Japanese Sun USB keyboards and Hangul and Hanja keys on Korean Sun USB keyboards must be accessed using alternate keystrokes.

Due to these keyboard-specific differences, keyboard mapping inconsistencies may be encountered when switching between target devices using Sun DSRIQ-VSN and DSRIQ-WSN modules and target devices using DSRIQ-USB modules. These keys function normally if your Sun servers are attached to the DSR switch using a DSRIQ-VSN or DSRIQ-WSN module.

The following table lists the keyboard mapping that will take place when a DSRIQ-USB module is used in this setting.
