Left <CTRL>, Left <CTRL>, <F4>

The KVM switch beeps 1 to 4 times corresponding to 10, 15, 20 and 30 characters/sec respectively.

Sun/Mac Keyboard Mapping

The KVM Switch emulates a Sun Keyboard when a computer is marked with a Sun, in the OSD menu by Function Key <F5>. A Sun keyboard has more keys than a standard PC keyboard. These extra keys are simulated by tapping the Right <CTRL> button, which is normally located on the right lower part of the keyboard, followed by one of the function keys on the general keyboard (i.e. combo key). For example, tap the Right <CTRL> key, and then tap the function key <F7> to activate Open for a Sun computer.

NOTE: For older Sun Operating Systems, the switch does not support the LowPower option under Power Off Select.

For keystroke emulation of Sun/Mac computers, please refer to the above chart and conduct the following two examples:

“Stop A” function in Sun: Press right <CTRL> and release, then within two seconds press <F1> and <A> in sequence.
