Appendix D: Sun Advanced Key Emulation
Certain keys on a standard Type 5 (US) Sun keyboard can be emulated by key press sequences on the
local port USB keyboard. To enable Sun Advanced Key Emulation mode and use these keys, press and
hold Ctrl+Shift+Alt and then press the Scroll Lock key. The Scroll Lock LED blinks. Use the indicated keys
in the following table as you would use the advanced keys on a Sun keyboard. For example: For Stop+A ,
press and hold Ctrl+Shift+Alt and press Scroll Lock , then F1+A .
These key combinations work with the USB, USB2 and VMC IQ modules and Avocent USB, USB2 and VMC
IQ modules. With the exception of F12 , these key combinations are not recognized by Microsoft Windows.
Using F12 performs a Windows key press. When finished, press and hold Ctrl+Shift+Alt and then press the
Scroll Lock key to toggle Sun Advanced Key Emulation mode off.
