Connecting the RAC6182 Computer to the PC Computer

When the RAC6182 Keypad configuration Utility runs, it first looks for
an ActiveSync connection to a RAC6182 computer. That is why
essential first steps are to ensure that ActiveSync is installed on the PC
and to establish an ActiveSync connection between the PC and the
RAC6182 Industrial Computer. The connection can be serial or
Ethernet. If you are unfamiliar with ActiveSync and RAC6182
communications, please see Chapter 13, Communications Configuration,
and Chapter 14, Managing User Applications.

Note:

ActiveSync 3.0 is distributed on the RAC6182 Applications
and Accessories CD with every RAC6182 Industrial
Computer.

Using the Keypad Configuration Utility

To run the Keypad Configuration Utility:

1. On the RAC6182, run PC Link to start the ActiveSync connection.

2. On the PC, open the Start menu. Open the Programs submenu and

select the RAC6182 Keypad Configuration Utility.

3. Click on the icon to run the RAC6182 Keypad Configuration Utility.

4. The Keypad Configuration Utility opens and shows the keypad and

the current configuration that is stored in the registry of the
RAC6182. Depending on the type of RAC6182 Industrial
Computer, the keypad will be either the 7.7 in. STN bezel with 27
function keys or the 12.1 in. TFT bezel with 34 function keys.
