KEYBOARD SETUP
The 1676 keyboard is designed to control a maximum of five
contiguous monitors. The number of monitors controlled by
the keyboard is set using a DIP switch located on the under
side of the unit (see Figure 3, below). By selecting the
appropriate combination (shown in Table 4), the keyboard can
control either 1, 2, 3, or 5 monitors.
This DIP switch also determines the starting number (base
number) for the specified group of monitors. Table 5 on page
5 lists the DIP switch settings for the desired base number.
The keyboard LED shows the relative monitor number within
the group which is currently defined for the keyboard. The
number will appear as a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, depending on which
monitor is selected.
For Example: An operator wants to manage five monitors,
starting with monitor number 27.
The DIP switch is set to the group code for five monitors,
and to the base monitor number 27.
The operator now can access monitors 27, 28, 29, 30, and
31. If monitor number 31 is selected, then the number 5
will be displayed in the keyboard LED.
To set up a keyboard for monitor control, turn the keyboard
over and remove the plastic plug. This provides access to the
programming DIP switch (see Figure 3, below).
As delivered, the 1676B model is set to control one monitor in
the first group of monitors (1 through 5) which is monitor
number 1. The 1676B2 model is set to control one monitor in
the first group of monitors (65 through 69) which is monitor
number 65.
Quantity of Monitors Selection
To select the quantity of monitors to be controlled by the
keyboard use Table 4, below. This set up uses S7 and S8 of
the DIP switch. The location of S7 and S8 are shown in Figure
3, below.
