KEYBOARD COMMAND SUMMARY
To enter any keyboard command, first press and release the left Control Key,
represented by <Ctrl>. Then enter the command followed by any parameters
you wish to specify, for example the computer number.
Letter commands are not case sensitive, and are shown in upper case for clarity
only.
Do not use the numeric keypad to enter any commands.
All Vista Mini commands use a two second time-out between characters, to
abort the command. This is a feature that restores the keyboard to normal oper
-
ation, so the keyboard is not put it into a command mode which might lock it up
from normal operation.
The <Ctrl> character is always passed through to the CPU. The command
characters and command operands, however, are absorbed by the Vista Mini
and not sent to the CPU.
