Network Station - Network Station 5250 keyboard mapping
Applicable to: World-Wide
This document contains information about the 5250 Terminal Emulation Keyboard mapping function for the IBM Network Station. This document is appropriate for OS/400 version/release levels Version 3 Release 2 (R320), Version 3 Release 7 (R370), Version 4 Release 1 (R410), and subsequent releases. Information in this document is limited to the 5250 Emulation Keyboard Mapping Function.
General Information (5250 Keyboard Re-Mapper)
The 5250 Keyboard Re-mapping function works in conjunction with one or more 5250 emulation sessions on an IBM Network Station. This function allows the user to set or change the function provided by a single keystroke (or combination of) on the keyboard while the 5250 session is the active window. To access the Keyboard Re-mapping function, click on the Option menu item from the menu bar of an active 5250 emulation session, then click on the item, Keyboard Re-mapping. The use of the Keyboard Re-mapping function is documented in the On-Line Help text (from the Keyboard Re-mapping window, click on the Help button). Some documentation is contained in the Getting Started Redbook, SG24-2153. Check the release levels or see the section below concerning the New Keyboard Re-mapping Interface.
The Menu Item is Missing
The menu item Keyboard Re-mapping is located under the Option menu item on the menu bar of an active 5250 session. If this menu item is not functioning or is not present, then the Menu Bar, or the Keyboard Re-mapping menu item has been hidden or use has been limited by the Administrator via the NSM (Network Station Manager). To change the settings for use of the Keyboard Re-mapping menu item, see the section later in this document titled Administrator Tasks - Disable Keyboard Remap Function.
Graphics Resolution Needs
The 5250 Keyboard Re-mapping window contains a graphic representation of the physical keyboard. This interface requires a resolution setting of 800 x 600 or higher. The 640 x 480 setting will not allow the use of the keyboard re-mapping feature. Changing the resolution setting is done from the Setup Utility (typically accessed by escaping out of the boot sequence). Use of the Setup Utility is described in Chapter 8 of the Network Station Manager manual, SC41-0632.

The old interface for keyboard re-mapping is described in the On-Line text and the Redbook, AS/400 - IBM Network Station - Getting Started, SG24-2153. This interface can be recognized by the keyboard layout showing at the bottom portion of the Keyboard Re-mapping window. The new interface for keyboard re-mapping is described in the On-Line Help text . The new interface is recognized by the keyboard layout showing at the top portion of the Keyboard Re-mapping window.
