Resetting Your PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse

If your PS/2 keyboard or mouse stops responding, you may be able to re-
establish operation of these peripherals by issuing a reset command. The reset
command sends a key sequence to the server which causes the mouse and
keyboard settings to be sent to the RCM. With communication re-established
between the server and the RCM, functionality is restored to the user.
NOTE: This function is for Microsoft Windows-based computers only. Resetting the PS/2 on a
computer running any other operating system may require that you restart that computer.
To reset the PS/2 mouse and keyboard values:
1. If OSCAR is not open, press Print Screen. The Main dialog box will appear.
2. Click Commands - Reset PS/2. A message box displays requesting that
you confi rm the reset. Click OK.
a. A message appears indicating that the mouse and keyboard have
been reset.
b. Click X to close the message box.
-or-
Click X or press Escape to exit without sending a reset command to
the PS/2 mouse and keyboard.
