3.5.6Setting the keyboard country code

By default, the appliance sends the US keyboard country code to USB cables attached to target devices and the code is applied to the target devices when they are turned on or rebooted. Codes are then stored in the KVM-IA. Using a keyboard code that supports a language different from that of the appliance firmware will cause incorrect keyboard mapping.

Issues might arise when you use the US keyboard country code with a keyboard of another country. For example, the Z key on a US keyboard is in the same location as the Y key on a German keyboard.

You can use the Keyboard window to send a different keyboard country code than the default US setting.
