AutoView 424 Installer/User Guide
The AutoView 424 allows you to use PS/2 or Sun keyboards to operate any type
of attached computer. However, when crossing platforms, certain keys will
need to be ‘remapped’ in order to provide all of the functions available on the
keyboard native to that platform. For example, if you access a Sun workstation
with a PS/2 keyboard, you will notice that the PS/2 keyboard does not have
the STOP and AGAIN keys that are on a true Sun keyboard. But, by turning
Scroll Lock on, the F1 and F2 keys on the PS/2 keyboard function as the Sun
STOP and AGAIN keys. With Scroll Lock off, F1 and F2 function normally.
Table 1 below shows the translations for a PS/2 keyboard to a Sun computer.
All mapped functions in Table 1 will only be valid when the Scroll Lock is on.
