60-Key Keyboard

The 60-key QWERTY keyboard has 101 keyboard functions, including a numeric keyboard pad.

The 60 key keyboard is also available with overlays designed fro use with IBM 3270 and IBM 5250 terminal emulations.

Key Maps

The 60-key keyboard supports all 101 keyboard functions. However, because the keyboard only has 60 keys, all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard).

Please refer to the Key Maps section of the Thor VX9 Reference Guide.

NumLock

The 60-key keyboard does not have a NumLock indicator or key. NumLock can be toggled On or Off using the 2nd SHIFT F10 keypress sequence. Changes made to the NumLock status persist across a Windows restart.

CapsLock

The CAPs LED indicates the state of the keyboard CapsLock mode. If CapsLock is enabled this LED is illuminated green. When CapsLock is off, the LED is dark.

Press 2nd then F1 to toggle CapsLock On and Off.

The default value of CapsLock is “Off”.

Secondary Keys

The VMT keyboard is equipped with several secondary keys. These keys are identified by the superscripted text found on the keyboard keys. The secondary keys are accessible by using two (2) keystrokes: the 2nd key followed by the superscripted key.

Once the 2nd state is enabled (by pressing the 2nd key) the Secondary Mode LED is illuminated and the 2nd state is enabled until another key is pressed. The 2nd key is toggled on with a 2nd keypress and then immediately off with another 2nd keypress.

Keyboard Backlight

The keyboard keys are backlit with LEDs. The backlight is manually controlled using the 2nd + CTRL + F10 keypress sequence.
