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 serial USB IQ module (if your Sun system comes with a USB port) as well as the Sun VSN and WSN IQ 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 (USB IQ modules only)

Japanese Sun USB and Korean Sun USB keyboards assign usage IDs for certain keys that differ from standard USB usage IDs. If USB IQ 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 VSN and WSN IQ modules and target devices using USB IQ modules. These keys function normally if your Sun servers are attached to the SwitchView IP 1020 remote access device using a VSN or WSN IQ module.

Table C.2 lists the keyboard mapping that will take place when a USB IQ module is used in this setting.
