Step 6: Configure the Keyboard Language
(Optional)
Note: This step is not required if you are using the
US/International language keyboard.
If you are using a non-US language, the keyboard has to be
configured for the appropriate language. In addition, the
keyboard language for the client machine and the KVM target
servers has to match.
Consult you operating system documentation for additional
information about changing the keyboard layout.
Changing the Keyboard Layout Code (Sun Targets)
Use this procedure if you are using a DCIM-SUSB and want
to change the keyboard layout to another language.
To change the keyboard layout code (DCIM-SUSB
only):
1. Open a Text Editor window on the Sun
™
workstation.
2. Check that the Num Lock key is active and press the left
Ctrl key and the Del key on your keyboard. The Caps Lock
light starts to blink, indicating that the CIM is in Layout
Code Change mode. The text window displays: Raritan
Computer, Inc. Current keyboard layout code =
22h (US5 UNIX).
3. Type the layout code desired (for example, 31 for the
Japanese keyboard). Press Enter.
4. Shut down the device and power on once again. The
DCIM-SUSB performs a reset (power cycle).
5. Verify that the characters are correct.
