Using the On-screen Keyboard for Linux Devices

To configure the workstation or install CAL on Linux workstations, see Installing the CAL Client on Linux Devices for instructions about installing CAL on Linux devices.

USB keyboards are supported for CAL configuration, depending on the model of workstation being used.

Here is a list of configuration and navigational keyboard buttons (and their functionality) located on the first two CAL configuration windows (Client Application Loader and Workstation Authentication screens):

The icon adjacent to the CAL server URL field allows you to change the default port number (443).
The BKSP button is the equivalent of the Backspace button on conventional keyboards.
The keyboard directional arrows, , allow you to backspace or forward space when entering characters within text entry fields.
Click the Previous or Next buttons to switch between configuration screens.
The Aa button is the equivalent of Shift keys on conventional keyboards (designating upper or lower case letters).
The button enables a beep that is emitted when buttons are selected while configuring CAL on the device. This button has no affect on sounds emitted while the device is running Simphony operations.
The SYMB button allows for the entry and use of special characters that are widely utilized for user passwords.
The CLEAR button empties the entry field of previously entered text.
