2. To add keyboards, complete the following fields:

System Port Number – Enter the port number of the keyboard’s connection to the MegaPower CPU. The MegaPower CPU can support up to 128 keyboards using port expansion modules. Port expansion modules convert a single port into four ports. When a port expansion module is connected to a port, port numbering adds an alpha character (a, b, c, d) to each port number; for example, port one becomes ports 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d; port two becomes ports 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, and so on.

Expansion Port – Choose the port on the expansion port module (if the MegaPower CPU is so equipped) that the keyboard will connect to. The choices are a, b, c, or d.

Name – Enter a name for the keyboard using alpha or numeric characters.

3.Click OK to display the new definition or Cancel to close the dialog box without displaying the definition.

Note: Remember to save or transfer your changes before closing EASY CPU.

Editing and Deleting Keyboard Definitions

Once a keyboard is defined, you can edit the definition by highlighting the information in the desired field and typing in new information.

To delete a keyboard definition:

1.Click on the leftmost blue portion of the row in the upper screen containing the keyboard definition. The entire row turns blue.

2.Press Delete on the PC keyboard. The Delete Row dialog box appears.

3.Click Yes to delete the keyboard definition or No to retain the keyboard definition.

Adding Monitor Access to Keyboards

The Monitor Access tab on the Definitions – Keyboards screen allows you to enable selected keyboards to access monitors.
