Avocent 3008 Manual De Usuario

 Chapter 3: Local Port Operation        21

NOTE: Using a keyboard code that supports a language different from that of your AutoView 3008/3016 switch 
firmware will cause incorrect keyboard mapping. 

Sun servers may use keyboard mappings for non-US keyboards. By default, the AutoView 3008/
3016 switch sends the US keyboard country code to Sun and USB modules attached to target 
devices, and the code is applied to the target devices when they are turned on or rebooted. Codes 
are then stored in the IQ module.

Issues may arise when you use the US keyboard country code with a keyboard of another country. 
For example, the 

key on a US keyboard is in the same location as the 

key on a German 

keyboard. Sun servers will interpret pressing the 

key on a German keyboard as pressing the 

key 

when the US keyboard country code is used.

The Keyboard dialog box enables you to send a different keyboard country code than the default 
US setting. The specified country code is sent to all target devices attached to the AutoView 3008/
3016 switches when they are turned on or rebooted, and the new code is stored in the IQ module.

NOTE: If an IQ module is moved to a different target device, the keyboard country code will need to be reset.

See Sun Advanced Key Emulation on page 95 for information on emulating certain Sun keys using 
a PS/2 keyboard and special considerations for Japanese and Korean Sun USB keyboards.

NOTE: Only local users can view or change keyboard country code settings.
