REMOTE PROGRAMMING KEY MAKE/BREAK CODES There are two scan codes assigned to each key, one for when the key is depressed (MAKE code) and the other for when the key is released (BREAK code). programmed to output both MAKE and BREAK codes. The SHIFT, CONTROL and ALTERNATE keys are always programmed to output MAKE and BREAK codes so that the system can tell if the key is being held down.
EXAMPLES OF REMOTE PROGRAMMING FOR KEY MAKE/BREAK CODE EXAMPLE 1. This example programs a key located at the top left-hand corner of the keyboard (row 1, column A) as a primary key that outputs the scan code for lowercase "z" on MAKE and BREAK. 1.
Page 61
EXAMPLE 3. This example programs the key at top left-hand corner of keyboard (row 1, column A) as a primary key that outputs the scan code for lowercase "z" on MAKE only. 1. Use the data in Appendix D to find the key code number for the "Z" key on the 101/102- keyboard.
Page 62
EXAMPLE 6. This example programs key at top left-hand corner of keyboard (row 1, column A) as a primary key that outputs the string "abCd" for MAKE. 1. Use the data in Appendix D to find the key code numbers for the A, B, C and D keys on the 101/102-keyboard.
OPOS PROGRAMMING The OPOS keys are defined in Table 7 below. All OPOS keys have the prefix of E0h/48h added to them. Example for OPOS key #32: The output in scan set 2 is E0 48 33 F0 33. All data is sent on the make of the key.
MSR PROGRAMMING FOR UTC OPOS DRIVERS The MSR is programmed by using a special prefix. This prefix allows the OPOS driver to determine where the data is coming from. An example of the data stream is shown below. If a track is missing from the magnetic stripe card, the prefix and suffix for that track will still be sent.
Page 65
Table 8 MSR Programming for UTC OPOS Drivers Function Code (s) 1. Swipe Program Card. While in programming mode, at the Series 600 Keyboard, enter Track 2 Function Code 16 (suffix). 2. At the auxiliary keyboard, type ?<CR>. 16 (suffix) 3.
COPYING KEYBOARD SETUP DATA (CLONING) Once a keyboard has been programmed, the parameters can be copied from the source keyboard to other keyboards. This feature saves time and reduces errors when programming more than one keyboard. It is also useful for remote keyboard setup and when making changes in key codes.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for next target keyboard or disconnect equipment. OPERATOR'S AND PROGRAMMER'S MAGNETIC CARDS Secure and Program magnetic cards are available for purchase from Ultimate Technology Corporation should the need for replacement or customized cards be required.
