CS1782A / CS1784A User Manual

Keyboard Operating Platform

The CS1782A / CS1784A’s default port configuration is for a PC compatible

keyboard operating platform. If your console uses a PC compatible keyboard

and you have a Mac attached to a port, for example, you can change the port’s

keyboard operating platform configuration so that the PC compatible keyboard

emulates the Mac keyboard. The procedure is as follows:

1. Bring the KVM focus to the port you want to set.

2. Invoke HSM (see page 22)

3. Press and release the appropriate Function key (see table below). After

completing this procedure, you automatically exit HSM.

Note: To set the keyboard language, see Keyboard Language, page 25.

List Switch Settings

To see a listing of the current switch settings, do the following:

1. Open a text editor or word processor and place the cursor in the page

window.

2. Invoke HSM (see page 22).

3. Press and release [F4] to display the settings.
