How use M122 F13 thru F24 with AS/400 emulation?

I would like to be able to use F13 through F24 on my vintage IBM M122 keyboard to select the corresponding PF key options on the display on the 5250 emulation screen. I'm using a Soarer's converter. I have not been able to find a .sc config file showing this. Using hid display I see that pressing each key transmits "F13" thru "F24" to the PC. But the iSeries Client Access software does not seem to recognize the key presses.

Hmm, I wonder if this needs to be configured somehow in the emulation program?

I've never used that client software and I'm sure about the configuration but have you tried something like Shift + F1 for F13?

This is what I would suggest too, I own a few host-attached terminal-emulator keyboards and they usually send Shifted F keys for the 3-24 block.
