USB Keyboard Mode Setup
Important: The setup of the USB keyboard mode can only be selected within
the AdonIS of the master device. This setup is not available, if the
TripleMUX is operated as a slave within a cascade.
In this case, temporarily operate the TripleMUX as a master
device and change the setup of the USB keyboard mode.
Recent standard keyboards are usually provided with 105 keys. Several
manufacturers of USB keyboards expand the number of the keys. Special
functions of the computer can be operated through the additional keys.
The following models are counted among the expanded USB keyboards:
The multimedia keyboard of the Apple Mac minis provided with a special key
to open the DVD drive.
The keyboards of Sun desktops and servers have separate keys to operate
the special system functions.
Besides these examples, further keyboards are available at the market that
enable the operation of the special functions of the computer through keys. The
