Resetting your Keyboard and Mouse

If a keyboard or mouse locks up, you may be able to reestablish operation of these peripherals by issuing a reset command. The reset command sends a hot-plug sequence to the server which causes the mouse and keyboard settings to be sent to the DSR. With communication re-established between the server and the DSR, functionality is restored to the user.

To reset the mouse and keyboard values:

1.From the Commands menu, click Reset.

2.A message box displays indicating that the mouse and keyboard have been reset. Click X to close the message box.
