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.
Java Based Virtual Console Session Running on Linux Operating System
The behavior mentioned for Windows operating system is also applicable for Linux operating system with
the following exceptions:
• When Pass all keystrokes to server is enabled, <Ctrl+Alt+Del> is passed to the operating system on the
managed system.
• 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
