Figure 108. Add Keyboard dialog
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. Left click OK to display the new keyboard
definition or Cancel to close the dialog box
without displaying the definition.
Note: Remember to save or transfer your
changes before closing EASY CPU.
