Mode command (Right Ctrl + M + 1, 2, or 3 + Enter)
MultiStation automatically detects the computer’s keyboard mode upon 
computer boot-up. If the computer is already booted and then connected to 
MultiStation, the computer’s keyboard mode can not be detected and the 
mode stored in non-volatile memory is used. If the mode is incorrect, either 
re-boot the computer or issue the correct mode command. 
Typematic value command (Right Ctrl + A + value + Enter)
The Typematic setting is used to adjust the way the keyboard acts with a key 
is held down to repeat itself like moving the cursor across a line. The value 
entered is a combination of the key rate value and the delay value. The 
Typematic value is determined by the equation: 
Typematic Value = Rate Value + Delay Value 
The Typematic value is determined from Table 9 below. This table shows the 
rate and delay values to use to determine the Typematic value. Select a rate 
in keys/sec and note the adjacent rate value. Next select a delay in 
milliseconds and note the delay value. Add the two values together and this 
will be the Typematic value to enter. For example to use a rate of 
16.0 keys/sec and a delay of 500 millisecond delay, the Typematic 
value = 7 + 32 = 39. This value would be entered as Right Ctrl A 39 Enter.
