3-3.2 Keyboard / Mouse

Host Interface

Enables a certain interface the mouse is connected to. You can choose between “Auto” for automatic

detection, “USB” for an USB mouse, and “PS/2” for a PS/2 mouse.

Warning

To use the USB and/or PS/2 interface you need a correct cabling between the

managed host and the managing device. If the managed host has no USB keyboard

support in the BIOS and you have connected the USB cable only then you will have no

remote keyboard access during the boot process of the host. If USB and PS/2 are both

connected and you selected “Auto” as host interface, then the card will select “USB” if

available or otherwise falls back to “PS/2”.

To get USB remote keyboard access during the boot process of the host, the following conditions must

be fulfilled:

■ The host BIOS must have USB keyboard support

■ The USB cable must be connected or must be selected in the Host interface option

PS/2 Keyboard Model

keyboard layout, “Generic 104-Key PC” for a standard keyboard layout extendend by three additional

windows keys, “Generic 106-Key PC” for a japanese keyboard, and “Apple Macintosh” for the Apple

Macintosh.

Windows XP, Mac OSX or “Other Operating Systems” for MS Windows NT, Unix or Unix-like OS, or
