Using the Forum IPhone PC with an Interface

Operation
The Forum IPhone PC can be used with a mouse or keyboard of any work-
station computer, in a manner similar to a Forum Phone 525 or
Forum Phone 535.
When making entries via the keyboard, please note the terminal’s input mode,
which distinguishes between numeric and alphanumeric input. If, for example,
you enter a call number you are in numeric input mode. When you search for a
name in the telephone book, you will be in alphanumeric input mode. To enter
a “C” on the terminal, for example, you have to press the “2” key three times.
When the letter “C” is entered on the keyboard, the Forum IPhone PC auto-
matically converts it to the corresponding digit key. Always use your work-
station computer’s number pad to enter digits in numeric input mode.
Press the shift key on the workstation computer together with a second key to
enter a long key-press on the Forum IPhone PC. For example, the
Forum IPhone PC’s ABC key has the telephone book (“short”) and language
selection (“long”) functions. You can open the telephone book by using the
Ctrl+A key combination. With the key combination Shift+Ctrl+A you reach the
language selection.
The following table describes the assignment of the workstation computer’s
keyboard to the Forum IPhone PC keys:
