IBM 1483DSV Setup Menus, Controls, and Indicators, Display Controls, Keyboard Operation Modes

Chapter 3. Setup Menus, Controls, and Indicators

This chapter describes the display controls, keyboard controls, and display indicators on the 1483 and its attached keyboard.

Display Controls

Refer to the installation booklet that comes with your Display element for an illustration of the locations of the Brightness, Contrast, and other controls. Any controls not on the display station are regulated from the setup menus and are described in the sections on Online and Offline Setup mode.

Keyboard Operation Modes

You can select either of two keyboard operation modes, Emulation mode or Native mode. The default setting is to emulate an IBM 3278 88-key keyboard. You can change the keyboard operation mode by changing the keyboard type on the Offline Keyboard menu (Figure 3-6 on Page 3-12).

With Native mode selections, Keyboard Definition mode is supported.

Emulation Mode

Emulation mode can be used with a 122-key or a 104-key keyboard. Emulation mode causes the display station to provide to the controller converted keyboard scan codes that allow the attached keyboard to emulate a standard IBM 3278 88-key keyboard or an IBM 3278 88-key keyboard with a PF pad. In Emulation mode, some keys on the 122- key keyboard are not functional. The controller to which the display station is attached must be configured to support Emulation mode.
