Keyboard Map Settings

Terminal and PC keyboards have different sets of keys. For example, many terminal keyboards have a Transmit key, but PC keyboards do not. To enable your PC to communicate with a host in the same way as a terminal, you can use a "keyboard map" which substitutes a PC key (or combination of keys) for the terminal function. For example, you might perform the function associated with the Transmit key by pressing the plus (+) key on the PC's numeric keypad. Initially, each session uses the default keyboard map. However, if you like, you can use one of the premade maps, or create your own instead. Also, you can assign different maps to each session to suit your particular needs.

From a session, you can load, view, create, or delete a keyboard map. To edit existing keyboard maps, you would use the Keyboard Map Editor, which provides a graphic representation of the PC keyboard. For more information about keyboard maps, choose one of the following topics:
