Multiplatform
Keyboard
Translation
XP4000 Series units allow you to use any type of keyboard to operate any
type of attached computer. However, when crossing platforms, certain keys
will need to be 'remapped' in order to provide all of the functions available
on the keyboard native to that platform. For example, if you access a Sun
workstation with a Macintosh keyboard, you will notice that the Macintosh
does not have the STOP and AGAIN keys that are on a true Sun keyboard.
But, by turning Scroll Lock on, the F1 and F2 keys on the Macintosh
keyboard function as the Sun STOP and AGAIN keys. With Scroll Lock off,
F1 and F2 function normally.
Below are the translation tables for PC, Macintosh and Sun keyboards. Where
"undefined" is designated, no characters will be transmitted to the computer.
Where "untranslated" is listed, the key will perform its standard function
regardless of the state of the Scroll Lock. All other mapped functions will only
be valid when the Scroll Lock is on.

For Users connected to an Apple Macintosh with a "Windows 95" keyboard,
you may reverse the functions of the ALT and WINDOWS keys. Enter
Command Mode, type W95K and press Enter. This will map the ALT keys to
the Command/Apple key and the Windows key to the Alt/Option key.
