Loading New 6181 Keypad Configuration
Once a new keypad configuration has been created, it must be
downloaded from the PC into the 6181 Bezel Interface Controller (BIC)
Card. The configuration data is downloaded from the CPU card to the
6181 BIC Card through the PS/2 connection. Because Windows NT and
Windows 2000 protect against direct access to low-level hardware ports,
a separate DOS-based “jflash.exe” utility must be used for the download.
The “jflash.exe” utility is shipped on a DOS-bootable 3.5 inch diskette
with every 6181 12.1 inch keypad computer. You will need this diskette
to complete the keypad configuration download.
Download Procedure:
1. Create the desired RAC6181 Keypad Configuration file on the 6181
computer.
2. Copy your keypad configuration file (*.ky3) onto the DOS-bootable
floppy diskette containing the “jflash.exe” utility. This 3.5 inch
diskette is shipped with the 6181.
3. Keep the “jflash.exe” boot diskette in the 6181 floppy drive. Reboot
the 6181 computer.
4. The 6181 will boot to DOS from the “jflash.exe” floppy diskette.
5. From the DOS prompt, enter the following command to run the
download program:
a:> jflash yourconfig.ky3 <enter>
6. The status will show its progress with text messages until the
download is finished.
The “jflash.exe” program has the following options:
•
jflash yourconfig.ky3
−
Downloads “yourconfig” keypad configuration into 6181 BIC
Card flash ROM
•
jflash –v yourconfig.ky3
−
Downloads “yourconfig” keypad configuration with data
verification into the BIC card flash ROM.
•
jflash –r yourconfig.ky3
−
Reads the existing keypad configuration from the 6181 BIC Card,
saving the keypad configuration in the “yourconfig.ky3” file.
