G.4 Configuring the KV1518A

Press [Alt] + [F2] to bring up the Setup Screen, shown in Figure G-4, where you can select your desired serial-communication parameters (baud rate [data rate], etc.) and type of local video output. The initial parameters will always start at their factory defaults, so make sure that the serial port or device to which the KV1518A is attached is temporarily configured for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. (If the port or device can’t support all of these settings, you must temporarily attach one that can.) Also, if you want to perform initial configuration with a local user station, it must consist of a PS/2 keyboard and VGA monitor.

Available data-rate (“Baud Rate”) settings are 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19,200 bps. You can select even, odd, or no (“None”) parity; 7 or 8 data bits; and 1 or 2 stop bits (but 7 data bits requires 2 stop bits). The terminal type is fixed at VT100.

To force local VGA output even when your local keyboard is a Sun type, access the KV1518A from a user station with a PS/2 keyboard and a VGA monitor. Bring up the Setup Screen and change the video option for “Sun keyboard” to “VGA.” You can then access the KV1518A from Sun type user stations.
