Configuring and testing the keyboard

The ATB420/421 has options which are stored electronically and which may be altered using a
simple utility from Access Keyboards (ATBconfig.exe). This program runs under Windows.
The ATBconfig.exe may be run with the ATB420/421 connected on any Windows system to set up
the required ATB420/421 configuration. Once saved the ATB420/421 keyboard saves its settings
and can then be disconnected and installed on another computer with these settings.
When run, ATBconfig.exe will scan the computers available RS232 ports and locate the
ATB420/421 keyboard.
Please find below the instructions for using ATBconfig.exe:
This utility allows users to configure and test the ATB keyboard and may be download from Access
Keyboards web link i.e. www.accesskeyboards.com/downloads/atbutils.
1. Connect the keyboard to a PC running Windows 98, XP, 2000 or NT, by connecting the PS2
connector to the keyboard port and the serial connector to any available serial port.
2. Run the utility ATBconfig.exe. The program will automatically locate the serial port the keyboard
is attached to and adjust to its current communication settings. Should this fail for any reason, e.g.
port not free, connect to an alternative port and click on 'Locate Keyboard'.
