Changing the scancode set of a PS/2 keyboard
If a key is pressed on the PS/2 keyboard, the keyboard processor sends a data packet
called scancode. The two common scancode sets (sets 2 and 3) contain different
scancodes.
In the standard configuration, the KVM switch interprets all PS/2 keyboard inputs
with the scancode set 2.
If the pipe (“|”) cannot be input or if the arrow keys of the keyboard do not function
as expected, it is recommended to switch to scancode set 3.
How to change the settings of the scancode set:
1. Use the tree view to click on KVM switches > [All switches].
2. Right-click the KVM switch and click the Configuration entry in the context menu.
3. Click the General tab.
4. Use the Scancode Set field to select between the following options:
Set 2: activate scancode set 2 for PS/2 keyboard inputs
Set 3: activate scancode set 2 for PS/2 keyboard inputs
5. Click OK to save your changes.
6. Restart the KVM switch.
NOTE: After the restart, the keyboard is being initialised and the selected scancode
set is applied.
