MATRIX SERVSWITCH™
•The Matrix ServSwitch is designed to support IBM PC compatible 101-, 102-, 104-, or 105-key keyboards and IBM PC keyboard-scan modes 1, 2, and 3; it’s also designed to work with PC-type CPUs/keyboards that use 5-pin DIN or
6-pin mini-DIN keyboard connectors. The Matrix ServSwitch will try to pass through keyboard codes that it doesn’t recognize without altering them, which allows it to support the DEC LK461 keyboard (see Appendix D for the key mappings), Japanese 106- and 109-key keyboards, and certain other keyboards that use special or proprietary keys. However, we cannot guarantee that the Switch will be able to fully support—or even work at all with—any PC-type keyboard that uses nonstandard keys, connectors, or keyboard-scan modes.
•If you are using a Sun keyboard, it must be a Type 5 or Type 5c model, not Type 6 (the Matrix ServSwitch isn’t yet fully Type 6 compatible). If the keyboard is designed for a keyboard language other than “US” (standard North American English), you’ll need to select the language under “Keyboard settings” in the Configure System page of the configuration menu (see Section 4.2.2).
