Startup

Type kputil to run the full keypad utility.

Utility Batch Mode

You can also use a batch file to reprogram keypads. This feature is useful if you wish to
reprogram many units with customized keypad macros without having to enter the full
keypad utility for each unit. Once the full utility has been used to create and save keypad
macros, the files containing these macros can be included on a disk with the keypad util-
ity and then used to reprogram other units from a batch file.
The command keypad filename runs the keypad utility batch mode. "Filename"
is the file containing the new keypad macros. The filename extension must be included.
For example, in a batch file, the command keypad def3408PC.pkm or
3408HMI.pkm would reprogram the keypad on the 3408KP with default values for the
numeric keypad. After programming, the system will reboot.
