Keyboard type

If you connected a PS/2, USB or Sun keyboard to the user station, you will not have to change the
keyboard type. If you connected a Pinnacle FAK or Chyron Duet keyboard to the user station,
complete the following steps to set the keyboard type.
To set the keyboard type on the user station:
1. Press
Ctrl+Ctrl
2. Click the Console tab, then click the down arrow button to display the Configure screen.
3. The Type field displays the current keyboard type. The Type field changes to PS/2 Type if your
AMX switching system includes an AMX5130 user station.
The Type or PS/2 Type field is activated if your AMX switching system includes an
AMX5120/AMX5130 user station connected to a PS/2 keyboard. The Type or PS/2 Type field
is deactivated in the following cases:
• Your system includes an AMX5100 or AMX5110 user station and is connected to a PS/2
keyboard. In this case, Standard is displayed in the Type field.
• Your system includes any version of the AMX user station and is connected to a Sun
keyboard. In this case, Sun is displayed in the Type field.
If the Type or PS/2 Type field is activated, select Standard, Pinnacle FAK or Chyron. The
change will be highlighted in blue text.

NOTE: Standard refers to any keyboard. If your AMX5130 user station is connected to a Pinnacle FAK or Chyron
Duet keyboard, you must select Pinnacle FAK or Chyron Duet in the PS/2 Type field to enable support for this
keyboard. If your AMX switching system has connections to both PS/2 and USB keyboards, the USB keyboard
takes precedence when both keyboards are used simultaneously.
Select the appropriate keyboard type from the Type drop-down menu. The drop-down menu
only allows you to select keyboard types that the connected user station supports.
