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. Click OK to display the new definition or Cancel
to close the dialog box without displaying the
definition.
Note: Remember to save or transfer your
changes before closing EASY CPU.

definition by highlighting the information in the
