Activating or resetting a PS/2 mouse
Unlike USB mouse devices, PS/2 mouse devices do not support the hot plug tech-
nology. You can therefore insert the PS/2 plug during operation but it may be pos-
sible that the computer does not detect the input device.
To activate or reset the PS/2 mouse, a special command can be send to the compu-

Since the commands differ depending on the used mouse type and the installed ope-
rating system, four different setup keys are provided.
