Resetting Your Keyboard and Mouse
If a keyboard or mouse locks up, you may be able to re-establish operation of these peripherals by
issuing a reset command. The reset command sends a hot-plug sequence to the server which causes
the mouse and keyboard settings to be sent to the 2161DS Console Switch. With communication
re-established between the server and the 2161DS Console Switch, functionality is restored to the
user.
To reset the mouse and keyboard values:
1 Press <Print Screen>. The Main dialog box will appear.
2 Click Commands - Device Reset . A message box displays requesting that you confirm the
reset.
3 Click OK . A message appears indicating that the mouse and keyboard have been reset.
4 Click X to close the message box.
