The Partitions – Keyboards to Monitors screen allows 
keyboard operators to access selected monitors. 

Click on the Partitions – Keyboards to Monitors link in 
the Explore menu to begin. The following screen 
appears. 

 

The Partitions – Keyboards to Monitors screen is split 
into two sections: 

• The 

upper screen shows existing keyboard 

definitions and allows you to create new 
definitions. 

• The 

lower screen allows you to set up monitor 

access for each keyboard. 

You can create, edit, and delete keyboard definitions. 

To add new keyboard definitions: 

1. Click Add on the right side of the Partitions – 

Keyboards to Monitors upper screen. The Add 
Keyboard dialog box appears. 

 

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. 

Note: Remember to save or transfer your 
changes before closing EASY CPU.
