Ps/2 Keyboards - Honeywell Thor VM3 Manual

PS/2 Keyboards

Legacy PS/2 keyboards can be used with the Thor VM3 via a USB to PS/2 adapter cable. PS/2 keyboards are available in
60-key and 95-key versions and were used with the VX6, VX7, Thor VX8 or Thor VX9.
Note: The PS/2 adapter cable does not work with the Thor VM3 and the VM1D Standard Dock. The PS/2 adapter cable
works with either the VM3D or VMXD Enhanced Docks.
95-key PS/2 Keyboard
The 95-key PS/2 keyboard may have any of the following markings on the decal on the back of the keyboard:
• 160491-0001
• 95 KEY PS-2
• 9000154KEYBRD (also available as VX89154KEYBRD)
If the keyboard looks similar but has a different part number refer to
An adapter cable is required to attach this keyboard to the Thor VM3. See
Strain Relief Cable Clamps (page 4-16).
Note: If the keyboard was previously used with Thor VX8 or Thor VX9, the adapter cable for the Thor VX8/VX9 is not
used. The new PS/2 to USB adapter cable must be used.

Key Maps
The 95-key keyboard supports all 104 keyboard functions (101 keyboard standard plus Windows keys) and
includes an integrated pointing device and left and right mouse buttons. However, because the keyboard only has
95 keys, all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the Thor VM3 keyboard supports what
is called hidden keys -- keys that are accessible but not visible on the keyboard. Refer to
Keyboard (page 8-3) for keymaps.

For the 95-key PS/2 keyboard, the NumLock key and the numeric keys are backlit green when NumLock is off.
When NumLock is on, the backlight for the NumLock key and the numeric keys is amber.
CapsLock and Scroll Lock
For the 95-key PS/2 keyboard, the CapsLock key is backlit green when CapsLock is off. When CapsLock is on,
the backlight for the CapsLock key is amber.
The Scroll Lock key is backlit green when Scroll Lock is off. When Scroll Lock is on, the backlight for the Scroll
Lock key is amber.
The default values for CapsLock and Scroll Lock are Off.
Keyboard Backlight
