Appendix G: Sun Advanced Key Emulation

Certain keys on a standard Type 5 (US) Sun keyboard can be emulated by key press sequences on a PS/2
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 will work with the DSRIQ-SRL module (if your Sun system comes with a USB port)
as well as the Sun VSN and WSN 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.
