Keyboard Tab - microHAM STATION MASTER Manual

The Keyboard Tab controls the operation of a PS/2 keyboard or numeric keypad connected to the PS/2 jack. It is
also possible to define control functions for the numeric keypad.
The PS/2 and FH-2 sub tabs allow assigning control functions to PS/2 and FH-2 style keypads. When a PS/2
keyboard is attached to Station Master, all keys except those on numeric keypad are forwarded to the attached
keyer. Checking Forward numpad keys to keyer, will cause the numeric keypad keys on the keyboard or all
keys on a separate numeric keypad to be forwarded to the keyer connected via iLink.
Default key assignments:
NumLock: toggle to enable/disable separate TX and RX antennas. When split is enabled, NumLock on the
keypad will light on keypads with a NumLock LED.
/: / followed by three digits enters rotator target azimuth. To cancel entry press /.
+, -, Enter: these keys have the same function as rotary encoder on SM front panel. + is one step CW, - one
step CCW and Enter replaces an encoder push.
Keys 0-9 on numeric keypad, and additional shift functions, are user configurable. The * key is used as a shift
key. Individual keys can be configured to be forwarded to Keyer connected via iLink.
When using an FH-2 style keypad all keys are user configurable. FH-2 keys cannot be shifted.
The FH-2 keypad must be connected to the PS/2 jack of SM using a special adapter.
NOTE: The FH-2 cannot control Station Master and a transceiver at the same time. FH-2 can only be connected
to Station Master or the transceiver.
IMPORTANT: The settings on this tab are valid only when Station Master is connected to microHAM Router. In
order to function in stand alone mode, the settings must be saved to Station Master as power-up defaults
using "Device | Store as Power-Up Settings."
