Native Mode
Native mode causes the display station to provide to the attached controller unconverted
keyboard scan codes which are defined by the controller depending on how it is configured.
Native mode is available on the 102/103-key, 104-key, and 122-key keyboards. In
Native mode, all 122-key keyboard functions are available. Native mode also allows the
use of Keyboard Definition mode on the 122-key keyboard. To use Native mode, you
must be connected to one of the following controllers:
• MTX/MTC 1174 Network Controller
• Memorex Telex 1274 Control Unit at firmware release level 11.0 or higher
• IBM 3174 Control Unit
• IBM 3274 Control Unit at configuration support D microcode release level 63.0 or
higher.
To use Native mode with a 102/103-key keyboard, you must be connected to one of the

In Native mode, the 1483 supports Keyboard Definition mode. Keyboard Definition mode
enables you to modify the keyboard layout by using the control unit’s Keyboard Definition
Utility. The attached control unit must be configured properly to support this feature.
