Black Box manual Keyboard mapping by the Matrix ServSwitch

CHAPTER 3: Installation and Preconfiguration

Table 3-1. Keyboard mapping by the Matrix ServSwitch.

Generally, the Matrix ServSwitch interprets keys by their positions on the keyboard, so any keys that occupy more or less the same positions and perform more or less the same functions across platforms will map one-to-one. However, certain keys available on certain keyboards do not correspond well or are not available on other types of keyboards, so the Switch maps the more important of these as shown below. (The Switch does not support Apple keyboards, but with the proper adapter it will emulate an Apple keyboard to an attached Mac CPU.)
