Console Redirection
NCR S46 Server MP-RAS Support Guide
2-11
Timing problems in the remote interface can occur since the Esc key is both a
valid keystroke (for example, to exit a program) and the initial character in a
string that represents a keystroke (for example, Esc+OP represents F1).
Using the F1 example above, if the system takes too long to receive the
“OP” string following the Esc keystroke, redirection interprets this string
as several distinct characters. The Esc keystroke is forwarded to the
server application, followed by the “O” and “P” strings.
•
For keyboard redirection to work, the application on the server must use
the INT 16h BIOS services to receive keystrokes. If the application uses
INT 9h or INT 15h services, console redirection does not work.
•
Unusual key combinations (such as F1) for non-ASCII keys are
not supported.
•
WordPerfect does not work due to its extensive use of Shift+F1 and
F1 key combinations.
