Utility Batch Mode

The Utility Batch Mode can be used to reprogram keypads on multiple units with
the same customized keypad macros. This feature is useful because it allows you
to do the reprogramming without having to enter the full keypad utility for each
individual unit. After you have programmed the first keypad macros, you will need
to create a DOS-bootable diskette to run the Utility Batch Mode.
You will need to extract files from the Documentation and Support Library CD-
ROM to for the diskette. The necessary files can be found in the folder,
DRIVERS\Keypad Software\Keypad Utility 1.1 142606-001
Save the following files from the CD-ROM to the root directory on your DOS-
bootable diskette:
H8flash.exe
• • • •
KP3util.exe
• • • •
H8fload.mot
• • • •
*.pkm
• • • •
codes.pkm
• • • •
symbols.pkm
• • • •
download.dld
• • • •
Then, insert the diskette into the unit you want to reprogram and reboot it. At the
DOS prompt, type the kp3util *.pkm to run the reprogramming function. This
utility can be used on as many units as necessary.
The *.pkm file is the macro file you saved in the earlier step. The * indicates
the name you selected for the file.
