KEYBOARD OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

General

As the system is supplied from the factory, various user selectable features have been placed in a default state.
A description of these features is given in the section on FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS. Since these
features are user selectable and have a great effect on the personality of the system, several modes of
operation are possible. The step-by-step instructions will cover operation of the system using the factory default
settings first, then details will be provided on operational changes as a result of certain feature selections.
Keystroke examples are provided for each keyboard operation.

System Commands

Keyboard Log-In Procedure
Two modes of keyboard access exist. Using factory
default settings, the keyboard is ready to be used as
soon as power is applied to the TC8x01 main CPU
bay. The second mode requires system Users to
'Log-on' to the keyboard before access to the system
is permitted.
If the log-on feature is enabled, perform the following
steps to log-on to the keyboard:
1. Verify that the USER and OFF indicators on the
keyboard are lit. The LINE indicator must also be
lit to show that the keyboard is connected to the
main CPU bay.
2. Press ON. The ON indicator should light and the
keyboard monitor display should show a 'U' as a
prompt for entering a User number.
3. Key in your User number using the numeric
keypad, then press ENTER. Up to 32 different
user numbers (1 to 32) are available. Refer to
the section on FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS
for priority levels assigned to each user number.
4. If an entry is entered in error, press CLEAR and
repeat the above step.
5. Press ENTER.
6. Verify that the keyboard monitor display now
shows a 'P'.
7. Key in the password for a maximum of six digits.
The keyboard camera display will indicate how
many digits have been entered. Press ENTER
when finished entering the user password.
8. If the password is entered in error, return to step
1.
9. You should now be logged-on to the system.
Verify that the ON LINE indicator is lit. The
keyboard monitor and camera displays will now
indicate which monitor and camera are currently
'connected' to the keyboard.
EXAMPLE: ON 12 ENTER 123456 ENTER
This example shows user #12 with password
#123456 logging-on to the system.
Keyboard Log-Off Procedure
If the log-on and log-off feature has not been
enabled, no action is necessary. If the feature has
been selected and you are currently logged-on,
perform the following steps to log-off the system:
1. Press the USER key, then press the OFF key.
The OFF indicator will light and 'dashes' will
appear in the keyboard monitor and camera
displays.
EXAMPLE: USER OFF
The above example will log-off the current user from
the system.
Programming Local Command Memory
TC8550A and TC8553 series system keyboards
allow users to create up to ten custom commands to
replace a series of manual keystrokes. Perform the
following steps to store a series of manual keystrokes
for later recall:
1. Press MEMORY key and verify the indicator
lights.
2. Select and enter a command number (1 to 10)
using the numeric keypad.
3. Press ENTER and verify the keyboard camera
display changes to an 'L' representing local
memory mode. The selected command number
will also be displayed to the right of the 'L'.
4. Key in steps to be stored into this command
sequence. Any keys but PROGRAM, MEMORY,
and CLEAR may be used in the sequence. In
addition, camera control keys such as Pan/Tilt
and zoom controls are not permitted. Up to 75
steps are permitted with applicable keyboards.
The keyboard monitor display will indicate the
number of steps entered. The keystrokes should
be entered exactly as if you were entering the
actual sequence manually. Sometimes it is best
to make a 'dry run' in the manual mode before
attempting to program a local command memory
to insure no keystrokes are omitted. Should you
wish to erase a partially entered command
