Java-based Virtual Console Session running on Windows Operating System

Ctrl+Alt+Del key is not sent to the managed system, but always interpreted by the management station.

When Pass All Keystrokes to Server is enabled, the following keys are not sent to the managed system:

Browser Back Key

Browser Forward Key

Browser Refresh key

Browser Stop Key

Browser Search Key

Browser Favorites key

Browser Start and Home key

Volume mute key

Volume down key

Volume up key

Next track key

Previous track key

Stop Media key

Play/Pause media key

Start mail key

Select media key

Start Application 1 key

Start Application 2 key

All the individual keys (not a combination of different keys, but a single key stroke) are always sent to the managed system. This includes all the Function keys, Shift, Alt, Ctrl key and Menu keys. Some of these keys affect both management station and managed system.

For example, if the management station and the managed system is running Windows operating system, and Pass All Keys is disabled, when you press the Windows key to open the Start Menu, the Start menu opens on both management station and managed system. However, if Pass All Keys is enabled, then the Start menu is opened only on the managed system and not on the management station.

When Pass All Keys is disabled, the behavior depends on the key combinations pressed and the special combinations interpreted by the operating system on the management station.

The behavior mentioned for Windows operating system is also applicable for Linux operating system with the following exceptions:

Magic SysRq keys are key combinations interpreted by the Linux Kernel. It is useful if the operating system on the management station or the managed system freezes and you need to recover the system. You can enable the magic SysRq keys on the Linux operating system using one of the following methods:

– Add an entry to /etc/sysctl.conf
