REMOTE UNIT CONFIGURATION & OPERATION
35
Setting USB keyboard Language ID
This is not normally required, but some operating systems (such as Solaris) require a
language ID to determine the KB layout. This command will read the ID from the current KB
(the one used to enter Command mode) and permanently store it.
1. Enter Command mode
(see page 27).
2. Press the key combination:
<Left Control> + <F3>
The Remote unit will now exit Command mode whilst the Local Unit re-connects as a
keyboard with the desired ID. During this time you will be unable to use the keyboard and
mouse.
Should any problems arise after issuing the command, simply USB hot-plug the Local Unit.
USB Descriptor Transfer
By default the Local unit emulates a standard USB keyboard and mouse (composite device).
Whilst this is sufficient for general KVM use, additional information needs to be transferred
in order to support non-standard (device specific) features and other HID peripherals
See Note
.
Descriptor transfer is required to help support:
• Keyboards with additional multimedia keys
• Mice with enhanced functionality
See Note
• Joysticks
See Note
• Certain other HID devices
See Note
USB Descriptor transfer allows the report definition to be read from your HID devices and
permanently stored within the Local Unit.
In initial firmware releases Descriptor Transfer is limited to enabling
support for multimedia keys on the current keyboard. Please check with
Technical Support regarding the availability of later firmware releases
supporting a wider range of HID devices.
