What to Do

  2. In the Keyboard menu, specify, if necessary, any of the following keyboard settings.

    Auto-keybreak Mode

    Select Auto-keybreak Mode to automatically send a keybreak after every key press. Use this option to help resolve keyboard problems over slow network connections.

    The Auto-keybreak Mode is enabled by default.

    Stateful Key Locking

    Stateful Key Locking applies to these three lock keys: Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock.

    Right Alt Key

    Select Right Alt Key to toggle the right Alt Key on or off for non-US keyboards.

    When enabled, this option allows you to type the third key character on a key. This keyboard option provides the same capabilities of an Alt Graph key.

    Select F10 to apply the F10 function key (typically used in BIOS).

    Control Alt Delete

    Select Control Alt Delete to send the Control-Alt-Delete sequence.

    Control Space
