PROGRAMMING KEYBOARD OPERATING PARAMETERS

The operating parameters of the keyboard can be configured (programmed) remotely from the host computer or locally at the keyboard. Keyboard programming in the remote mode sets the keyboard parameters as commanded by the host computer input applied at the main communications port. Selection of the local programming mode enables keyboard parameter setup locally at the keyboard. Note that all keyboards come from the factory programmed with a default set of parameters.
