Keyboard Operating Platform

The CS1742 / CS1744's default port configuration is for a PC Compatible
keyboard operating platform. If you have a Mac or Sun attached to a port, you
can change the port's keyboard operating platform configuration as follows:
1. Bring the KVM focus to the port you want to set.
2. Invoke HSM (see page 16).
3. Press and release the appropriate Function key (see table below). After
setting a new keyboard operating platform, you automatically exit HSM.

* Before the first time that a Sun system runs from a port, you must set its port
to the Sun keyboard operating platform before you turn the system on. If this
step is not completed, the Sun system will not start properly.
