Remote Console is unconditionally catching this keystroke already. Typical examples are
“Control+Alt+Delete” on Windows and DOS, what is always caught, or “Control+Backspace” on
Linux for terminating the X-Server. The syntax to define a new Button Key is as follows:
[confirm] <keycode>[+| -[*]<keycode>]*
“confirm” requests confirmation by a dialog box before the key strokes will be sent to the remote
host.
“keycode” is the key to be sent. Multiple key codes can be concatenated with a plus, or a minus
sign. The plus sign builds key combinations, all keys will be pressed until a minus sign or the
end of the combination is encountered. In this case all pressed keys will be released in
reversed sequence. So the minus sign builds single, separate keypresses and -releases. The
star inserts a pause with duration of 100 milliseconds.

Host Interface
Enables a certain interface the mouse is connected to. You can choose between “Auto”
for automatic detection, “USB” for an USB mouse, and “PS/2” for a PS/2 mouse.
Warning: To use the USB and/or PS/2 interface you need a correct cabling between the
managed host and the managing device. If the managed host has no USB keyboard
support in the BIOS and you have connected the USB cable only then you will have no
remote keyboard access during the boot process of the host. If USB and PS/2 are both
connected and you selected “ Auto ” as host interface, then the card will select “ USB ”
if available or otherwise falls back to “ PS/2 ”. To use the PS/2 keyboard and mouse of
local console, you have to connect PS/2
cables between the device and the managed
host.
To get USB remote keyboard access during the boot process of the host, the following
conditions must be fulfilled:
• the host bios must have USB keyboard support
• the USB cable must be connected or must be selected in the Host interface option
