What to do if numeric keypad keys don't map to VT100 emulation on HP AF600A - Server Console Switch?
When connecting a serial interface adapter to a server running Linux Red Hat or SLES, and the numeric keypad keys on a PC keyboard do not map to VT100 emulation under the Linux shell, you can: * Use the "printenv" command to show the TERM assigned under Linux. It can be matched appropriately with other termcap entries by editing the profile or setting the TERM = "ansi". For PC keyboards, ANSI is the most compatible emulation. * Edit your /etc/inittab as: s0:2345:respawn:sbin/agetty -h ttyS0 115200, 9600 ansi Where ttyS0 is the serial device name where the serial interface adapter is connected. Then at a shell prompt, enter init q, or reboot the system.
