Appendix F: Sun Advanced Key Emulation
Certain keys on a standard Type 5 (US) Sun keyboard can be emulated by key press sequences on a PS/2
keyboard. To enable Sun Advanced Key Emulation mode and use these keys, press and hold Ctrl+Shift+Alt and
then press the Scroll Lock key. The Scroll Lock LED blinks. Use the indicated keys in Table F.1 as you would
use the advanced keys on a Sun keyboard.
For example: For Stop + A, press and hold Ctrl+Shift+Alt and press Scroll Lock, then F1 + A.
These key combinations will work with the DSRIQ-SRL module (if your Sun system comes with a USB port) as
well as the Sun VSN and WSN IQ modules. With the exception of F12, these key combinations are not
recognized by Microsoft Windows. Using F12 performs a Windows key press.
When finished, press and hold Ctrl+Shift+Alt and then press the Scroll Lock key to toggle Sun Advanced Key
Emulation mode off.

Special considerations for Japanese Sun USB and Korean Sun USB keyboards
(USB IQ modules only)
Japanese Sun USB and Korean Sun USB keyboards assign usage IDs for certain keys that differ from standard
USB usage IDs. If USB IQ modules are attached to your Sun servers, the Han/Zen and Katakana/Hiragana keys
on Japanese Sun USB keyboards and Hangul and Hanja keys on Korean Sun USB keyboards must be accessed
using alternate keystrokes.
