G.4 Configuring the KV1518A
Press [Alt] + [F2] to bring up the Setup Screen, shown in Figure G-4, where you
can select your desired serial-communication parameters (baud rate [data rate],
etc.) and type of local video output. The initial parameters will always start at their
factory defaults, so make sure that the serial port or device to which the KV1518A is
attached is temporarily configured for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop
bit. (If the port or device can’t support all of these settings, you must temporarily
attach one that can.) Also, if you want to perform initial configuration with a local
user station, it must consist of a PS/2 keyboard and VGA monitor.
Available data-rate (“Baud Rate”) settings are 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19,200 bps.
You can select even, odd, or no (“None”) parity; 7 or 8 data bits; and 1 or 2 stop
bits (but 7 data bits requires 2 stop bits). The terminal type is fixed at VT100.
To force local VGA output even when your local keyboard is a Sun type, access
the KV1518A from a user station with a PS/2 keyboard and a VGA monitor. Bring
up the Setup Screen and change the video option for “Sun keyboard” to “VGA.”
You can then access the KV1518A from Sun type user stations.
