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 port
expansion 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 keyboard definition or
Cancel to close the dialog box without displaying
the definition.
