Changing the scan code set of a PS/2 keyboard
If a key is pressed on the PS/2 keyboard, the keyboard processor sends a data packet
that is called scan code. The two common scan code sets (sets 2 and 3) contain dif-
ferent scan codes.
The KVM switch interprets all inputs of the PS/2 keyboard with scan code set 2.
If the pipe ("|") cannot be entered or if the arrow keys of the keyboard do not work
as expected, it is recommended to switch to scan code set 3.
How to change the setting of the scan code set:
1. Press
Hotkey+Backspace
If the hotkey delay is active, press the key combination for seven seconds.
2. Press one of the setup keys listed below to activate a particular scan code set:
