Mapping Shortcut
VMX300(-E) provides a shortcut for entering consecutively numbered devices. For example, map device numbers 50-55 to keyboard numbers
20-25 as follows:
1. Enter the first device number, in this example, 50.
2. Using the mouse, position the pointer over the square to the right of Device # 50. The pointer changes into cross hairs.

3. Press the left mouse button and drag the square to the end of the consecutive range, in this example, Keyboard # 25. The range is enclosed
in a rectangle.
TIP: If you want to use similar but not identical logical mapping settings in another keyboard, import the settings, and then edit them.
